Sports Massage Tucson
Sports Massage could be considered a form of "soft" training for athletes to care for their bodies and balance out their "hard" training. Soft training allows the body to be like water: quick, fluid and adaptable. Athletes who choose to include soft training will have an advantage over athletes who do not. When relaxed, our muscles have a greater potential to react quickly, allowing us to intuitively perform the right actions when the brain wouldn't have enough time to weigh options and make a decision.
Pre-event sports massage (commonly referred to as a "shake-out") prepares the body to perform at its absolute best. This massage utilizes jostling, active isolated stretching, muscle compression and percussive techniques. The goal of a pre-event sports massage is to allow the body to become soft, fluid and limber as well as encouraging the mind to be present and focused. Pre-event sports massage is completely different than a post-event sports massage, which aids the athlete's recovery process through long, gliding strokes that help move along metabolic waste and calm the nervous system.
Sports massage does not involve deep or specific pressure. Specialized lower or upper body deep tissue massage is a better choice if the athlete is looking for relief of chronic pain due to the repetitive movements associated with their sport.
