SPORTS MASSAGES
It is no coincidence that sports massage is used by athletes in almost every sport. Sports trainers, coaches and athletes alike have understood the value of massage for decades, if not centuries. Massage increases blood flow to muscles. This increase in blood flow can greatly accelerate your body’s natural healing process. Massage can help muscles and joints recover much more quickly from injury than simply relying upon anti-inflammatories.
Muscles of athletes undergo wear and tear on a daily basis due to rigorous physical activity. Sports massage in Brisbane helps to accelerate the healing process of this muscle damage by increasing blood flow and also helps to reduce inflammation.
Massage is also used by athletes to help their bodies regenerate from tough workouts. Since massage can reduce inflammation, it is a very effective way of helping one’s body get the most out of a workout. Even an occasional massage can be very effective in helping keeping muscles loose and reducing the muscle tightening that can come along with a vigorous workout.
Brisbane Livewell Clinic has team members that are experienced with every aspect and technique of massage. This means that those looking for sports massage will be happy to hear that we have a variety of ways to help you recover from a sports related injury, prevent injuries from occurring in the first place, or just help you get the most out of your workouts.
