SportHeal – Let's Get You Moving…

How can sports therapy help you with your fitness regime?

A sports massage is sought after to alleviate the consequences of overtraining, of continual training, of actions that tighten the muscles, and because of spasms and stiffness that may be present in even the most inactive person. Of course, anyone can benefit from a sports massage, ‘providing you are not ill, don’t have acute inflammation; and are not averse to being touched’. The effects of massage are accumulative, therefore the more regularly you attend sessions the more benefit you will gain. Your the first massage may be more painful and you may feel tender and bruised afterwards, but thankfully the body is intelligent enough to decrease these effects with more regular work. Therefore, a session every one to two weeks for the most benefit.

Sports Strapping

Any injury or condition that can reduce an athlete’s performance has serious effects on their careers on and off the field. Regular sports massage help reduce the risk of injury, and prevention of re – injury. Having massage both before, after trainings and game, helps warming up and loosening the muscles and reducing muscle tone which gives then puts them in a better condition for the athletes chosen sport. Sports massage isn’t like your remedial massage, sports involve more passive and active stretching, deep tissue and tapotement. Unlike remedial massage which involves more trigger points, MFR (myofascial release). Athletic sports taping involves applying tape directly to the skin to support and stabilise vulnerable joints. While sports taping isn’t a guarantee against re-injury it does provide many benefits. Benefits of using sports tape: - Joint and ligament support - Rehabilitation - Reduce swelling - Psychological benefits (comfort taping when injuries are completely healed or routine taping)

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy might be trendy now, but it’s not new. It dates back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures. One of the oldest medical textbooks in the world, the Ebers Papyrus, describes how the ancient Egyptians used cupping therapy in 1,550 B.C. The British Cupping Society says that cupping therapy is used to treat: Blood disorders such as anemia and hemophilia Rheumatic diseases such as arthritis and fibromyalgia Fertility and gynecological disorders Skin problems such as eczema and acne High blood pressure Migraines Anxiety and depression Bronchial congestion caused by allergies and asthma Varicose veins

A sports massage, is a manual systematic manipulation of the soft tissue of the body in order to decrease injury potential and enhance training. ‘Sports massage works because it works deeply on realigning muscle fibers thus ensuring better functioning as well as increasing nutrients and oxygen to the muscle. The benefits are increased range of motion, decreased lactic acid build up, decreased injury potential, increased circulation and increased cellular metabolism, to name but a few.

All massage is good for you because it generally functions to increase circulation, decrease anxiety, improve blood pressure as well as improve overall mood and productivity, the difference is that sports and deep tissue massage is especially beneficial for working deeper on the muscle fibres and increasing a range of motion and functionality. So it depends on what your body needs
