SPORTS MASSAGE

Sports massage is a particular massage designed for use before, during and after sporting activities and as a preventative strategy against injuries. Sports massage works on soft tissue, stimulates blood circulation and increases cellular exchange thereby aiding the muscle to overcome fatigue, injury and muscle spasm.

Sports massage won't make an athlete stronger but willl help minimise muscular inhibitions thereby allowing the athlete to maximisde his/her potential. The major components of a sports massage program are: - pre-event massage, post-event massage, training injury prevention massage and a stretching routine.
