Qualifications:

• Sports Conditioning Coach

Benefits of Sports Massage:

• Stress and Pain Reduction
• Reduces delayed onset muscle soreness
• Increased blood supply
• Improved joint mobility
• Stretches tissues

Sports massage can help maintain the body’s condition, prevent injuries and loss of mobility, restore mobility to injured muscle tissue, and improve performance.

The movements used in massage encourage fluid movement through blood vessels and lymph vessels. This is particularly crucial in tight or damaged muscle tissue as a tight muscle will squeeze blood out, depriving the tissues of vital nutrients and energy to repair.

Massage can stretch tissues that can’t be stretched in the usual methods. Bundles of muscle fibers are stretched lengthwise as well as sideways. Massage can also stretch the sheath or fascia that surrounds the muscle, thereby releasing tension.

Additional Benefits:

• Tissue elasticity – Training or physical work can make tissues hard and inelastic which can hinder training results. Massage helps reverse this by stretching tissues.
• Pain reduction – Tension and waste products in muscles can often cause pain. Massage helps reduce this in many ways including releasing endorphins.
• Relaxation – Muscles relax through heat generated, circulation, and stretching.
