Sports massages are often used before, after, or even during an athletic event to prepare the athlete for a high level of performance. Useful for reducing fatigue and stimulating the body, sports massages also serve to reduce swelling and muscular tension. This type of massage is also useful for preventing injuries and encouraging flexibility.
Sports massages offer many benefits, including (but not at all limited to) the reduction of heart rate and blood pressure, the stimulation of the circulatory system, and the relief of pain. As individuals in different types of sports utilize their muscles in varied ways, sports massage therapists seek to target the areas most important to each athlete. This means providing not only for relaxation and the release of tension, but also the stimulation needed to ensure the top performance of the athlete's muscles.
Shiatsu, Swedish and Other Types of Sports Massages A variety of massage techniques may be implemented for sports massage. The techniques used depend on the unique needs of the athlete. However, a combination of Shiatsu and Swedish massage techniques are often used in treating professional athletes.
