The benefits of sports massage therapy include the following: improved blood flow and nutrient delivery to your muscles, efficient clearing of harmful metabolic byproducts, tension reduction in your fascia, reduction of your scar tissue, improved tissue elasticity and improvements in your tissue's ability to absorb nutrients.
Acupressure
Acupressure massage involves using fingers to press and apply pressure to different points on the body. The pressure to the key points of the body alleviates the buildup of toxins in our tissues that cause stiffness in the body. This encourages the body to undergo natural self-healing, which results in releasing tension and allowing good blood circulation.
PAIN RELIEF
Deep-tissue massage is a specific type of massage therapy that concentrates on the deep layers of muscle and fascia in the body. By using deep finger pressure and slow, firm strokes, deep tissue massage is used to treat a variety of physical ailments, such as, reducing chronic pain, improving blood pressure, and rehabilitating injured muscles.
WORKOUT RECOVERY
A recent study shows that a massage improves post workout recovery and improves your rebound time after a training session. You probably didn't need a study to tell you to get a massage, but if you want to improve your performance and recover faster even a short massage after a workout session will deliver results.
