Introduction

 

When it comes to receiving a massage, most individuals wouldn’t think twice or take much persuasion. However, most would not consider paying a qualified sports therapist to give them a sports massage. This is not a typical end of the day massage you would give your partner or spouse in order to relax them, sports massages are designed to release muscle tension and restore balance to the musculo-skeletal system – and usually are quite painful or uncomfortable. However, the benefits can be immense, and include physical, physiological and psychological improvements.

 

Before considering the potential benefits sport massage has to offer, it is important to recognise that massage itself is not only for injured individuals but can also offer numerous benefits to uninjured individuals who are looking to enhance their sporting performance. 

 

• Increase sporting performance.

• Maintain the human body in a healthy condition.

• Prevent injuries and inflexibility.

• Reduce the recovery period following an injury.
