Our sports injury clinic also offers exceptional sports massage services in Orpington<\/a> and Bromley<\/a>. Massage is actually one of the earliest forms of physical therapy that was used thousands of years back in places like India, China and Greece.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sports massage<\/a> is basically a type of massage that focuses on manipulating the soft tissue of people who are engaged in regular physical activities. It should be noted that soft tissue includes the skin, tendons, muscles, ligaments and fascia. Of course, these are all connective tissues which haven\u2019t hardened into bones or cartilage.<\/span><\/p>\n

The goal of sports massage is actually to correct all those imbalances and problems in soft tissue that result from strenuous sports or physical activities. It therefore goes without saying that the proper application of sports massage can go a long way to prevent injury, aid recovery as well as enhance performance in athletes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deep tissue massage will increase blood flow, providing injured areas with important nutrients and substances required for healing. It will increase tissue permeability and provide a passive stretch of tight tissue increasing elasticity. Effective massage strokes can break down scar tissue, speeding recovery and reducing pain.<\/span><\/p>\n

While providing many physical benefits, massage will also have a relaxation effect through heat generation, improved circulation and passive stretching. It will reduce anxiety through the release of endorphins.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sports massage can be used before or after competition with different purposes. The appropriate technique can have either a stimulating or relaxing effect on muscle tissue.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sports massage is a type of bodywork that is specifically designed to relieve muscle tightness, soreness, and pain. It relieves the tension in the muscles by stretching them, and it also helps to flush out toxins from the muscles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sports massage is different from traditional massage because it focuses on solving a problem. It is targeted and specific to problem causing tissues. Traditional massage focuses more on superficial layers of the body such as skin and muscles.<\/span><\/p>\n
