Sports Massage Therapy
As the clinic’s Sports Massage Therapist, it is my responsibility to work with a client in addressing a dysfunction / imbalance / injury to the muscular system of that individual.
Possible After-Effects Of Sports Massage
You may experience some mild effects following treatment. These are nothing to worry about and are all part of the natural healing process. These effects can last as little as twelve hours. In some extreme cases, several days. This is very dependent on age, physical condition, intensity of treatment and prior exposure to such therapies.
Restoring Muscle Function & Supporting Recovery
The aim of Sports Massage is to restore normal function to the treated muscles, ligaments, and tendons. This is achieved by reducing inflammation and improving blood circulation to the muscles and any damaged fibres.
Sports Massage serves as a stepping stone to recovery, acting as a catalyst in the process. The therapist-client relationship functions as a team dynamic, where both parties play essential roles. Without the client’s active participation in rehabilitation after the session, the full benefits and outcomes of the treatment cannot be fully realized.
Some experienced effects are as follows:
