You know that massage is great for relaxation and injury recovery, but have you considered using therapeutic sports massage to achieve you maximum performance in sports and every other part of your life? Here’s what sports massage can do for you.
Range
Practice makes perfect, but it also makes knots and swollen joints in your body. Massage has been proven to help smooth motion and improve maximum extension. Without massage, you’ll never know how far you can truly reach.
Speed
There is no way to achieve your top speed while inflammation and misalignment in your body is slowing you down. Massage helps to align every muscle and bone while reducing inflammation and improving connectivity in your nervous system. You’ll never hit your top speed without it.
Focus
Aches and pains add up. Swollen muscle groups may even pinch-off or constrict blood flow and impact nerve function making it impossible to think clearly and focus. Massage helps get the swelling and cramping out from between your mind and your targets.
Development
Massage is a safe, chemical-free, way to improve the natural growth and proper conditioning of your muscle groups while facilitating the removal of chemicals that impede the progress of your body’s natural development. Massage therapy naturally helps drain lymph nodes and opens channels within your body to remove lactic acid and encourage your metabolic system to work at peak efficiency.
Prevent Injury
Even while training, your body is at risk from every motion. It doesn’t take much to hurt yourself when you’re muscles are swollen and your joints are stiff. Simply reaching over your head could throw your neck into spasms for days. Massage is an effective preventative measure to prevent injuries like these while simultaneously getting all of the benefits above.
Whether you’re a pro, in training, or just playing for your health, massage can give you the edge in any game.
I want you to think of massage, not just as a way to heal yourself or reduce stress, but as a powerful tool to give you the edge and help you do your best.
Whether playing or coaching, every sports professional needs a massage therapist in their corner. Massage is the secret weapon for thousands of professional athletes, but these benefits are just as effective for IT professionals, attorneys, CEOs, or soldiers.
