What is Sports Massage?

Описание: Sports Massage began in the early 1980’s when, as a very keen Marathon runner and Triathlete I discovered the benefits of self-massage. Without any training and using the simplest massage techniques I found it really helped me recover better from long hard training sessions. Right from the start I saw sports massage as part of a support package for athletes and something much more than just a good massage.
My overall goal was always to help athletes and dancers prevent injury and enhance their performance. Sports massage can greatly improve the recovery from training, and this is the most important way of preventing common overuse injuries. This means it needs to be carefully planned as a regular and integral part of a training programme and not just a random treatment.

A skilled therapist is also able to assess the condition of the tissues, feel the affect training may be having on them and identify potential injuries the athlete may not be unaware of yet. This can then lead to good effective preventative treatment and advice. But athletes do still suffer with injuries so treating minor and chronic injuries is also an integral part of the job.
Sports Massage also has to include more than just the traditional massage techniques because there are also Neuromuscular techniques which have such great potential when treating athletes.
