What can regular Sports Massage do for health & performance?

When should somebody receive Sports Massage?
• Maintenance - The overall objective of a maintenance program is to help the person reach optimal performance through injury-free training. An effective maintenance program is based on a strong understanding of anatomy and kinesiology, combined with an expert knowledge of which muscles are used in a given sport and which are likely candidates for trouble. By zeroing in on particular muscle groups and working specific tissues, the therapist helps the person maintain or improve range of motion and muscle flexibility.
• Pre-Event - Pre-event massage supplements an athlete's warm-up to enhance circulation and reduce excess muscle and mental tension prior to competition. It also improves tissue pliability, readying the person for top performance.
• Post-Event - Post-event massage, on the other hand, is geared toward reducing the muscle spasms and metabolic build-up that occur with vigorous exercise. Various sports massage techniques enhance the body's own recovery process, improving the person's return to high-level training and competition, and reducing the risk of injury.
• Rehabilitation - Even with preventive maintenance, muscles cramp, tear, bruise, and ache. Sports massage can speed healing and reduce discomfort during the rehabilitation process.
