Sports massage is effective because of the beneficial physiological and psychological effects that are derived from the massage. Specifically, sports massage treatments enable the athlete in training to work out and recover more efficiently.
During any excercise, as a muscle contracts to do the work, its fibers shorten and glide together allowing the muscles and tendon to broaden. In sport's massage, compression and friction techniques imitate this broadening to help create more pliability of the connective tissues and eliminaating restrictions in the broadening of the muscle.
Benefits Include:
-maintaining and increaseing flexibility
-improving the body's allignment
-speeds recovery after an exhausting workout
-reduces stiffness and soreness from training
-increased circulation
-reduces injury
-helps to increase strength
