What is Massage?
-
Massage is one of the earliest forms of physical therapy and has been used as long as 3000 years ago.
Sports Massage is not just for sports persons with injuries. It is good for anyone before exercise since it brings more oxygen to the muscles. It is good after exercise. It is good for injuries (after initial 72 hrs). It is good for anyone, sports person or non-sports person, who needs their muscle condition to be improved or to relieve tension.
For the sports person, the body is constantly increasing it’s level of training and therefore subjecting the body to gradual overuse. This overuse often creates problems and imbalances in the soft tissues. If they are ignored, they will hinder improvement as well as performance. If the sports person can’t perform at his/her best, he/she increases risk of further, more serious, injuries.
Massage is the most effective therapy for releasing muscle tension & restoring balance to the body. Regular massage helps prevent injuries otherwise caused by overuse. A constant build up of tension in the muscles from regular activity can also lead to stress on joints, ligaments, and tendons
