Recovery

* Fast recovery from post game fatigue
* Faster recovery from injury

Massage has become a necessary ingredient for a complete workout. More and more people are realising that a complete workout routine includes not only the exercise itself, but also caring for the wear-and-tear and minor injuries that naturally occur with strenuous movement. The physiological and psychological benefits of massage make it an ideal complement to a total conditioning/ maintenance/ recovery program.

Post-event sports massage is given after a competition, event or workout and is mainly concerned with recovery. It is geared toward reducing the muscle spasms and metabolic build-up that occur with vigorous exercise. Recovery after competition involves not only tissue normalization and repair, but also general relaxation and mental calming. It helps your body recover faster so that you can continue to push your body further in your conditioning program or push your body sooner in events and competition.

Sports massage helps the body recover from the stresses of strenuous exercise, and facilitates the rebuilding phase of conditioning. The physiological benefits of massage include improved blood and lymph circulation, muscle relaxation, length, mobility and function, and general relaxation. These, in turn, lead to removal of waste products and better cell nutrition, normalization and greater elasticity of tissues, deactivation of trigger points, and faster healing of injuries. It all adds up to relief from soreness and stiffness, better flexibility, mobility and function, improved performance, and less potential for future injury.
