Prior to Sports Massage, a thorough assessment of injuries is made using appropriate tests, including postural analysis. A rehabilitation programme for soft tissue injuries {muscles, tendons and ligaments} is devised, with appropriate intensive Sports Massage therapy treatments, which can include propreoceptive neuromuscular functioning techniques, muscle energy techniques and soft tissue release.
Benefits of Sports Massage:
- Prevents muscle and tendon and ligament injuries.
- Reduces the strain and discomfort of training and chronic strain patterns, allowing quicker return to maximum training levels.
- Enables quicker recovery from injury, preventing acute problems becoming chronic.
- Psychological boost and feeling of well-being, consistent with high performance.
- Preventive approach to physical training injury, whereby soft tissue is free of scar tissue, trigger points and adhesions, contributing to improved neuromuscular functioning.
Contributing factors to Soft Tissue Injury:
- Frequent or intense training
- Inefficient use of the body
- Postural imbalances causing undue pressure tension
- Previous injury or trauma
- Under-developed/over-developed muscle
- Every-day use leading to general stiffness
Pre-Event Sports Massage stimulates circulation, calms nervous tension and prepares for optimal performance, while reducing chances of injury.
Post-Event Sports Massage relieves soreness and assists in the removal of lactic acid.
