Why Athletes Need Sports Massage!

 Sports massage uses various techniques that cater to particular muscles affected by activities. Massage can help hasten the healing and recovery process after an intense race by dissolving waste fluids such as lactic acid. After a sports massage, you'll feel lighter, more powerful and more flexible. It will help alleviate and all those nagging aches and pains and help you reduce the likelihood of injury. Also, it will help your muscles, tendons and joints move through their proper range of motion and stay in optimum shape.

   A sports massage is typically a combination of several massage techniques that are tailored to your affected muscle groups based on the activities that you do. A properly administered sports massage can help flush the lactic acid out of your body. There are two types of sports massages that can benefit triathletes depending on when you schedule your appointment and your race schedule. If you have a race coming up you will want to receive a lighter massage. But, if you are in between events and have specific issues, your sessions can focus on deep-tissue massages in problem areas.

    One of the best reasons to get a sports massage is to help your muscles, tendons and joints move through their proper range of motion and stay in optimum shape. Many injuries are brought about by overusing certain muscles. This can result in soreness, pain and inflammation. Regularly scheduled sports massages can help reduce the likelihood of the muscles becoming overused in the first place and can also help reduce the initial inflammation that leads to injury.
