Sports Massage works deep to eliminate toxins embedded in muscle fibres, remove adhesions, and minimize scar tissue build up. Muscle lengthening in sports massage helps to restore a range of motion and overall flexibility. It also leads to improved circulation which aids better cell nutrition, greater elasticity of muscle fibre, and reduced recovery time.
Sports massage is also used in the event of injury. It helps to rehabilitate by minimizing the adverse effects of scar tissue and adhesions caused, also helping to regain lost flexibility and strength.
The Benefits
- Causes the pores in tissue membranes to open, enabling fluids and Nutrients to pass through enabling removal of waste products such as lactic acid
- Encourages the muscles to take up oxygen and nutrients which promote faster healing
- Stretches muscles to release tension or stress caused due to excess physical activity
- Helps break down scar tissues which usually affect the muscle, tendons and ligaments which impair performance
