Jul0
Techniques for sports massage are designed to alleviate swelling and tension in the soft tissues, reduce the risk of athletic injury, and promote flexibility in an athlete’s muscles. Sports massage is commonly utilized to help athletes not only during athletics, but also before and after competition. It may help with athletic warm up to prevent injury as well.
But this type of massage therapy may be beneficial to anyone, not just high level athletes. Amateur athletes along with weekend warriors may benefit, and the benefit spans from adolescents all the way into the elderly. Along with treatment from Phoenix chiropractors, patients often get tremendously better.
A sports massage appointment starts with a patient consultation where the therapist discusses the individual’s history and problems and puts together a massage program tailored to the specific needs. The massage is put together to address soft tissue issues improving function and helping with circulation. During the massage, the work performed may be a bit painful to the person especially if a myofascial release is done along with less forceful maneuvers.
As various sports work different muscle groups, the massage therapist adjusts his or her technique to suit the particular sport. The sports therapist will have the patient situated comfortably on a padded table and focus on specific muscle groups with a variety of techniques. Sports massage may assist tremendously in a proper AZ pain management regimen.
The massage typically starts with rhythmic stroking movements to relax the patient and allows the massage therapist to identify tense and tender areas, including muscles, ligaments, and tendons. In addition to these, the massage therapist works on the fascia, which is the anatomic covering of the muscle itself. Working on that region may allow for pain reduction and improved function.
As the work continues, the therapist focuses on deeper tissues and utilizes kneading to stimulate circulation and stretch muscles. At the end, the therapist can utilize forceful stretching and grasping motions which can break down and separate harmful tissues.
The therapist can also potentially include techniques like heat/ice to stimulate injured tissues, lengthen contracted muscles, decrease scar tissue, and alleviate trigger points.
Sports massage is a noninvasive safe form of therapy that may help athletes decrease injury, speed up recovery, and optimize health. Both acute and chronic conditions can be helped substantially from it along with treatment from phoenix chiropractors.
