Sports Massage
Neuromuscular and Sports Massage Therapy
Sports massage is a type of massage technique that focuses on treating soft tissue. Massage can reduce muscle stiffness and improve relaxation by reducing heart rate and blood pressure. Massage involves applying mechanical pressure to the soft tissues, and is believed to result in improved muscle flexibility, increased range of motion in the joints, and decreased muscle stiffness. Additional benefits of massage include reduction in heart rate, blood pressure and cortisol levels.
Exercise, acupuncture, and massage are all seen as ways to balance the body and promote health and in the case of athletes, to improve performance. Athletes may indeed find an edge in these therapies and most people enjoy the feeling of pure relaxation, reduced anxiety, and improved mood as a result.
