Sports Masage

Sports massage involves the manipulations of soft tissue

Connective tissue (soft tissue) covers skin, muscles, ligaments, tendons and fascia.

                                       Please note that Mind & Body Flex has temporarily postponed their services. 

First, the primary purpose of sports massage is to lessen tension. Therefore, muscle fibres are separated during treatment. Tension builds up in the soft tissues during exercise, for example, because of repetitive movements at work or everyday activities. Besides that, the massage breaks down lesions quicker and more effectively. To clarify, it restores suppleness in the body.

With the right application and ongoing communication with the client, this type of massage can enhance working days and athletic performance. Above all, it can speed up ongoing recovery and prevent further injuries.

 

 

The Origins Of Sports Massage

Massage was known over 3000 years ago in China, India, and Greece. At the end of the 18th century, Henrik Ling subsequently developed this form of treatment, which is now widely recognised as the Swedish massage. Therefore, many of his ideas created the foundations of modern sports massage.

These involve effleurage (long strokes), petrissage (kneading), frictions, stretching and compression.

Benefits And Effects Of Sports Massage

  • Above all, it is beneficial to anyone suffering from ongoing injuries, chronic pain, or a limited range of movement.
  • For instance, it maintains the physical body in better condition, prevents loss of mobility, and helps to restore the movement of injured muscle tissues.
  • It certainly aids in improving imbalances in soft tissue because of repetitive physical activity.
  • Sports massage is deeper and more intense than regular relaxing therapy. It reduces muscle soreness and stiffness quicker.
  • Further, increases venous and subsequently lymphatic flow. To help with lymphatic drainage.
  • For example, it improves range of motion and muscle flexibility. As a result, it helps with the healing of tensed and/or overused muscles and tendons.
  • Meanwhile, take care of the ligaments and tendons while freeing the fascia, which covers the entire muscular system (also known as the fine sheath). If the fascia is out of alignment, it may create a variety of pains, aches, and injuries.
  • For instance, it frees muscle adhesions (tension), softens scar tissue after injury, and relieves ongoing muscle pain and spasms.

My Clients Said

★★★★★ 5/5
''Having never had a sports massage before, I felt quite nervous and self-conscious about having booked in for a treatment. Justyna not only put me at ease discussing fully the treatment that would be given showing me diagrams of how she would work on my muscles. After my 1st treatment, I certainly felt relaxed and not so tense. Most importantly, couldn't wait for my next treatment. So content to find her!''

"Everything was explained to me wonderfully and with great care. Justyna tailored exactly the massage to my needs. Every effort was taken to ensure my comfort. Therefore, I was extremely satisfied with the quality of the massage. Without a doubt, I would certainly recommend her to my family and friends. Subsequently, the experience was absolutely delightful and Justyna professional. Thank you!"

''Justyna has such amazing massage skills. Consequently, I didn’t need to explain where my pain was coming from, as she could put pressure in the right places. Prior to the appointment, my entire body felt so tensed and knotted. However, following the massage, I felt so good as the pain had finally gone away. I also suffer from insomnia and what a better way to help my body and mind to rest!''
