Whenever you play a sport you put your body under a great deal of stress, whether it’s tennis, football, golf, or any other sporting activity. The movements you make can leave you susceptible to injury, particularly if you over-exert yourself. Impacts can also cause injury and leave you facing time out from your favourite activities while you recover. Warming up properly, stretching and cooling down afterwards are all important in avoiding injury. If you still find that you are left with sore and stiff muscles after activity you should seek advice from a sports therapist.
Sports therapy is concerned with the prevention of injury, rehabilitation and helping people to stay in top physical condition. It is a specific area of healthcare and focuses on helping muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints to recover faster following physical activity. A wide range of treatments are used to help patients recover from injury and maintain their peak condition, including a full array of different massages and exercises. People of all ages can get treated and with regular treatments you can see great improvements in your physical and psychological wellbeing.
Sports massage is one of the key tools that therapists use to help people recover from an injury and improve their conditioning. Massages help because they encourage circulation, help muscles to relax and increase flexibility and suppleness. A treatment after activity or whenever you feel muscle tightness can help you to recover quicker and avoid injury.
