Massage is a treatment an increasing number of sports enthusiasts are choosing to add to their regular regime as it can improve both training and event performance.
Sports massage can form an important part of an athletes training in several ways, aiding recovery between training sessions allowing more intense training and greater frequency, helping to aid recovery from soft tissue injuries by realigning adhered tissues and increasing blood flow, it can help to prevent injuries by relieving tension in muscles and connective tissue and finally actual sporting performance by increasing range of motion and stimulating muscle tissues increasing activity.
Some treatments that are useful include the following:
-Effleurage and petrissage
to relax tissues and isolate differences in tissue textures
-Deep friction
to breakdown adhesions in tissues allowing them to then be properly realigned
-STR (soft tissue release)
to stretch and relieve tension in tissues
-NMT (neuro muscular technique)
to help aid relaxation in tissues
-MET (muscle energy technique)
assisted stretching to help relieve tension
-Percussion
to help stimulate muscles pre-event
Arguably the main benefits of massage treatment are to help improve and release muscular imbalances and to help prevent injury.
