When can a sports massage be done?
Sports Massage is recommended for people who are active-not just athletes. It was designed to prepare an athlete's muscles for a sports event. Sports massage can assist in preventing injury because it helps to condition the muscles and stimulates circulation of blood and lymph. Some sports massage therapists are also trained to facilitate the break-up of adhesions to reduce strain and fatigue. There is a focus on trigger points and tight muscle areas with this massage. Sports teams with professional athletes hire sports massage therapist for their staff because athletes must keep muscles flexible and strong. The sports massage is given before an event to stimulate muscles, during an event to help prevent injury, and after an event to restore muscles to their normal state. Spa Massage Therapists may be able to do this type of massage, but you are more likely to find a sports massage therapist in a health club/gym setting.
