Sports Massage

Sports Massage is a form of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Such activity in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries, in both short and long term. Sports massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by not only reducing pains and swelling in the body, but by helping to prevent injury.

It also gives increased flexibility, relaxes the mind, and dramatically improves recovery rates. Sports massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body’s natural immune functions.

Where Did Massage Begin?

Massage treatments have evolved through history. It is recorded that it was widely practiced in parts of India around 3000 BCE. Indians believed that the practice was a holy experience that cleansed and healed an individual.

It was also a form of pain relief. Many doctors used massage as a way of mending injuries and lowering intense pain. Hindus passed down this practice and today we have a wonderful form of massage that continues to encourage pain relief, stress relief, and improves health.

The original goal of massage was to rebalance the body and become one with our surroundings. Massage allowed us to reconnect with the world to find a better standing within it. Massage continues to encourage relief in many forms and has been for thousands of years.
