Sports Massage Therapy Boulder, CO
Sports Massage therapy sessions at Boulder Sports Chiropractic focus on balancing your body, helping to recover from exercise, and decreasing inflammation.
Sports Massage is focused on working the soft tissues associated with sports injuries. The therapist will use massage techniques that focus on balancing your body, helping to recover from exercise, and decreasing inflammation. The massage can focus on specific problem areas (legs or IT band for runners vs forearms for climbers, etc) or can be full body.
Sports Massage can be a great way to help treat repetitive injuries from sports or other active activities. Most athletes focus on the activity portion of their training while neglecting the recovery portion. Recovery and self care are a huge part of a well rounded training plan for any activity and sports massage can be a fantastic addition to your recovery plan. Most professional sports teams have a massage therapist on staff to help initiate the recovery process and manage muscle tightness in their athletes using sports massage. Sports massage in Boulder can be a great way to help decrease swelling, promote lymphatic drainage, remove lactic acid, and decrease inflammation by using broad strokes towards the heart.
Sports Massage is also very helpful at increasing flexibility. Repetitive motions involved in most active hobbies creates a build up of tissue restriction. This build up typically creates restrictions in movement and flexibility. Restricted movement is a common cause for both injury and decreased athletic performance.
Benefits of Sports Massage:
Reduce recovery time
Reduce muscle soreness after exercise
Improve flexibility and range of motion
Reduce risk of injury
Hours spent breaking down muscles in the gym or long hours at a desk leads to chronically tight muscles, fascia, and connective tissues. It is invaluable to spend time reversing those stressors to maintain healthy, pain free tissue. Maintaining healthy muscle tissue requires focused work to remove any adhesions, knots, or trigger points that will form due to the stressors of life, work, and training.
Massage therapy sessions are your chance to break down the negative effects of life and sport to restore a healthy balance of tension in your body.
