Overview
A sports massage is most commonly used to relieve soreness that comes from athletic performance. The technique is of quicker pace to engage muscles and often requires the client to be more involved as we perform muscle energy techniques. Sports massage can be used both as a maintenance technique and to rehab from common sports injuries. It will consist of stretching along with manual work.
Muscle Energy Technique
METs are a technique that utilizes isometric contractions to relax and lengthen muscles. Isometric contraction is firing a specific muscle group, such as curling your arm to engage the bicep. This allows the massage therapist to provide a deeper stretch as well as connect with the nervous system to create lasting results.
A commonly used MET is Reciprocal inhibition. This is the idea that by engaging a muscle, the antagonist must relax – allowing for a deeper stretch.
Treated Conditions
Sports massage is not just for professional athletes; if you exercise your body regularly in a way that challenges your strength or stamina – this massage is for you! Treated conditions include:
- Tendonitis
- Golfers/Tennis elbow
- Strains/Sprains
- Limited range of motion or pain with movement
- Surgery rehabilitation
