Therapeutic, hands-on massage has long been recognized for
its ability to increase circulation, relax muscle spasm, relieve
tension, enhance muscle tone and increase range of motion... to
list but a few of the benefits. Sports massage was originally
developed for the athletic competitor and considers anything
less than maximum performance to be a problem! Specifically, the
science is based on the ideas that 1) prevention is better than
correction, and 2) treat the cause and not just the symptoms!
Massage therapy is effective because it releases spasms,
increases blood supply to the tissues, breaks up knotted muscle
fibers. helps lessen inflammation, and hastens elimination of
lactic acid. Massage therapy administered before an event can
loosen and warm muscles, preparing them for heavy use. This can
help prevent injury, improve performance, and maximize
endurance. Massage therapy administered after an event relieves
muscle pain, prevents stiffness, and lessens recovery time.
