Re Launch of our Sports Massage Service
5 REASONS AND BENEFITS FOR HAVING REGULAR SPORTS MASSAGE
1. CAN ALLEVIATE PAIN CAUSED BY PHYSICAL EXERCISE/TRAINING
DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) can occur when you start, change or increase any exercise regime. Massage helps to reduce pain by decreasing inflammation, releasing hormones, breaking the pain cycle, increasing the blood flow and therefore relaxing the tight muscles.
2. KEEPS MUSCLES FLEXIBLE
Muscles can tighten and become stiff after training or exercising. Sports massage can relax and loosen the muscles by increasing the temperature and blood circulation allowing you to continue your fitness programme.
3. IMPROVE YOUR RANGE OF MOVEMENT
With regular sports massage which relaxes the muscles your flexibility may increase and the stiffness and tightness may lessen. This may contribute to a greater range of movement in your joints.
4. SPEEDS RECOVERY
If you have suffered an injury through sport or exercise, regular sports massage can enhance your recovery rate enabling you to get back to fitness or at least start back into training a lot sooner.
5. REDUCES ANXIETY LEVELS
All of the above in turn leads to a feeling a wellbeing. Knowing that you are looking after your body as well as putting it through its paces gives you a great balance mentally and physically.
