Yinyang introduces Sports Massage for all athletes, sportspersons or anyone undergoing sports injury rehab.

Staying fit and active is an important part of staying healthy. It helps keep our body toned and helps it to function more efficiently. It also helps our muscles become stronger in the long run. In the near future, however, the only thing in store for our muscles after a long and draining workout is soreness.

You will often hear fitness enthusiasts describe muscle soreness as “a good kind of pain”. While there is merit in that statement, several studies have shown that muscle soreness can have negative effects on the muscles during future workouts, sometimes even resulting in injury.

What is Sports Massage

Sports massage is a form of massage geared towards optimising muscle condition and ensuring muscle recovery. It is used by athletes to remain in peak condition despite rigorous training which makes it difficult to avoid wear and tear. It is also helpful in recovering from, as well as preventing sports-related injuries.

This is part of the reason why many sports teams and athletes now keep professional masseuses on their staff, so that they can receive regular post-workout rubdowns, which allow for faster recovery and leave you in better shape to train the following day.

Benefits of Sports Massage

Sports massage offers numerous benefits such as improved flexibility, reduced risk of injury, and improved blood circulation to the areas of the body coming under the most stress.

There are three main categories of sports massage: pre-event, post-event and maintenance.

Sports massages help increase blood flow to the muscles, which helps the muscle recovery process and decreases Post-Workout Muscle Soreness, which is mainly caused by insufficient oxygen being available to the muscles. This, in turn, causes the muscles to use anaerobic means of generating energy through the breakdown of glucose and phosphates, which produces lactic acid as a byproduct.

One thing all athletes must keep in mind is that it is not advisable to get a sports massage within 48 hours of a sporting event. A sports massage after a sporting event, however, is an excellent idea as it aids in muscle recovery.

Sports massage also helps reduce the risk of future injury. Sports massages are focused on lengthening and stretching the muscle, which has been shown to help reduce the risk of injury, improve posture and alleviate pain.
