Massage Terminology – Sports Massage
Sports massage was originally developed to assist athletes in getting their bodies ready for optimal performance, recover after a big event, or function well during training. Sports massage emphasizes prevention and healing of injuries to the muscles and
tendons.
Sports massage is a type of Swedish Massage that stimulates circulation of blood and lymph fluids.
Sports massage usually includes:
1. Pre-event: brief, invigorating massage given within an hour of event incorporating rocking and compressions.
2. Post-event: calming massage incorporating slow compressions and stretches.
The benefits of a sports massage are many…
- Improves performance
