Sports Massage – To Enhance Performance
Sports massage applies massage and massage techniques to promote the health and well being of athletes, those who are active in fitness and others whose daily activity is strenuous and physical.
We help enhance athletic performance through various techniques that involve knowledge in musculo-skeletal anatomy and the bio-mechanics of activities including fitness and sports. With this understanding we are able to plan sessions and locate areas of stress and apply palpitation levels appropriately for the massage to met the needs of the client.
With a sports massage we generally use a technique that improves circulation to promote both muscular and general relaxation with enhance flexibility. The massage technique which involves joint movements and stretching help muscles relax and lengthen by releasing tension formed from exercise.
Your body can only heal itself up to a point, that’s where Sunstone Sports Massage can reduce stress and promote relaxation to support the healing process through long flowing effleurage techniques or light rhythmic compressions. Take a hot shower, sauna or steam room before a sports massage to enhance its positive recovery effects.
If you have muscle tension and inflexibility, muscle soreness, trigger points, tendinitis, edema, tenosynovitis, strains, sprains or stress you can benefit from a sports massage – deep friction technique to help with the development of healthy mobile scar tissue and freeing adhesions in tissues after strenuous activity or over excretion.
We also give extra attention to areas that are related to the clients fitness activity and sport as a maintenance treatment session. Addressing problem conditions, repetitive strains and other injuries and recovery from surgery before trauma areas develop into acute conditions and by covering the clients overall recovery and the problem area as needed.
With techniques that include compression, sliding strokes, kneading, jostling, positional release, point movements and stretching we can increase circulation and promote muscular and general relaxation.
Prevent injury, recover from injury or competition, address areas of concern to rehabilitate injury and provide maintenance of problem areas with a sports massage to enhance your overall health and competitive performance.
