Massages aren’t just useful following an event to help the body recover: they are also great for helping the body to prepare for an upcoming event. It’s not a replacement for training hard but is, instead, used to help boost circulation and prepare the body for the physical task ahead. Massages provide both physical and psychological benefits which help athletes feel at the top of their game.
Massages help the body to recover better from strenuous exercise, meaning it is a good idea to fit sports massage around a training regime. There are numerous physical and psychological benefits to this. Physically, they help the body to prepare better for the event, boosting circulation and improving blood flow to the muscles, helping them to benefit from the effects of training. It also helps to loosen up the joints and improve the range of movement, preventing them from locking up and potentially causing injury. It also provides psychological benefits, helping them to feel a lot more ready. By giving the muscles a boost that can be felt, it can help to vastly increase an athlete’s confidence and ensure that they are prepared for the event.
If undergoing strenuous exercise, then regular massages help to aid and possibly bolster recovery after exercise. If, during training, a problem does occur then a massage can help to treat the problem quickly and efficiently. Remedial massages can help address neuromuscular and biomechanical problems within the body, ensuring that they do not develop into something serious or prove themselves to be an obstacle towards the event or your training.
