Sports Massage and Injuries
Sports and Remedial Massage helps manage, maintain and rehabiltate the body's soft tissues such as muscles, tendons and ligaments to ensure optimal performance for top athletes, active people doing sporting activities or simply help with those everyday aches, pains and strains that you can get at work or at home.
Sports massage is a form of deep tissue massage combined with other specialised techniques such as NeuroMuscular Technique (NMT), Muscle Energy Technique (MET), Soft Tissue Release (STR), Stretching and Deep Frictions.
The benefits of sports massage are as follows:
- Increase and improve circulation and lymphatic flow
- Help remove metabolic waste
- Stimulate or sedate nerve endings
- Increase or decrease muscle tone
- Increase or decrease muscle length
- Help remodel scar tissue from injuries
- Assist in the mental preparation of a sporting event.
Injuries don't just occur during sporting activities - they can also occur during our everyday lives either at work or at home. Whether its doing too much computer work that's causing problems, carrying the children, gardening or simply hauling the shopping bags home, they can all contribute to a weakness and subsequent injury; as of course, can overdoing it in the gym or any other sporting activity that you do.
Sports and remedial massage is offered at the Body Therapy Clinic for pre-events, post-events, maintenance or remedial massage to stay in optimal health.
