TECHNIQUES USED IN SPORTS MASSAGE

At Laperlaspa, Our massage therapists are skilled in a variety of massage techniques. During a sports massage, common massage methods include:

Effleurage: It is a type of massage that promotes relaxation, blood flow and lymph flow.

Kneading: It is a massage method that involves applying pressure to both superficial and deep tissues.

Wringing: This is a type of massage that is used for broad sections of the muscles. In a back-and-forth motion, the writhing method lifts and squeezes the muscles.

Hacking: It is a quick and light action that is performed with the edge of the hand. As the wrists move up and down, the fingers make contact with the skin.

Trigger Pointing: It is a technique for treating trigger points and muscle knots that have proven successful.

9 Amazing Benefits of Sports Massage

1. Relaxation

The parasympathetic nervous system, which controls how your body functions, is activated by sports massage. It controls your heart rate, blood pressure and other bodily functions.

2. Stress Relief

When you are anxious, your body does not function properly. After a long week at work, you may be physically tired or mentally agitated. Sports massage lowers the level of stress hormones in the body, which can help you, avoid injury, recover faster, and even strengthen your immune system.

3. Improved circulation

When you relax your muscles, your blood supply increases, allowing nutrients to reach your muscles. Allowing the body to rid itself of any unwanted muscle build-up

4. Reduced Blood Pressure

Less stress can reduce muscle tension and allow more blood flow, meaning your heart doesn’t have to work as hard to circulate blood throughout your body.

5. Reduced muscle soreness

DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) is the reason you can’t walk properly for a day or two after a workout. The muscle tissue will be relaxed, allowing them to heal more quickly and with less discomfort.

6. Increase Lymph System Activity

Massage promotes lymphatic drainage, which can make you feel thirsty afterwards! Drinking water after the massage can help with this.

7. Reduced Time Injured

Sports massage helps damaged tissues, including muscles, tendons and ligaments, to heal more quickly and correctly. It aids in the management of scar tissue and promotes flexibility, allowing you to maintain movement while injured.

8. Improves Performance

Sports massage helps athletes perform better. Muscles that are properly conditioned allow you to run faster, jump higher, lift large objects, and push things harder.

9. Feel Good Feeling

As a result of sports massage, endorphins were released. These are substances that make us feel happy in our bodies. They also help to relieve restlessness.
