Despite common misconceptions, sports massages are not only ideal for professional athletes and sportsman. If you are an active person who loves maintaining a healthy body, this type of massage is perfect for you.
Regular sports massages ensure that your muscles remain limber and also help your body to recover faster after taking a beating from an intensive training regime. While Sports Massages can often seem more ‘aggressive’ than the typical Swedish massage,we focus on FUNCTION rather than feel-good in order to maximise recovery.
Who Can Benefit From a Sports Massage
Sports massage can benefit all types of people who lead an active and sporty lifestyle. If your training is at any one of these stages, then we recommend you assist your recovery with sports massage:
- Pre-activity release and activation e.g. 0-5 days before a big running/cycling event.
- Recovery after activity e.g. 0-7 days after a big race
- Maintaining a healthy body during a regular training regime.
Remember:
The above applies to any level of athlete or non-athlete. Just because you are only starting out, does not mean your body could not benefit from this treatment. If you feel your workouts have taken its toll on your body, then you can most definitely benefit from a sports massage treatment.
