Best Sports Massage in Roseville

Have you hit a wall with your fitness goals? Are you having trouble with Range of motion and flexibility? Do you have aches after working out that just don’t seem to go away? Are you just looking to improve your fitness plan? Are you looking to ease back into a lifestyle of fitness? A sports massage is your key to unlock these fitness doors. There are two types of Sports Massage the pre-event and post event sports massage. While these may sound self explanatory, here are some brief overviews.

Pre-Event Sports Massage:

This type of therapy is an amazing way to get the body ready for a workout. Through some dynamic assisted stretching your muscles begin to loosen as increased blood flow is created in the joint that is being stretched. As this increase in blood flow circulates through your body each muscle is stimulated, or awakened, and begins to prepare for activity. This process helps to reduce the risk of injury during your workout as well as promotes a notable increase in endurance during your workout.

• Increase blood flow
• Less risk of injury
• Increased Range of Motion
• Increased level of endurance

Post-Event Sports Massage: The is just what your body needs after an amazing workout. Flushing out that lactic acid after it has built up during workouts is the first step of the road to recovery. Some of the benefits you can expect from post-event therapy include:

• Decreased recovery time
• Reduce swelling
• Post workout tension alleviated

When you come in for your Sports Massage you can expect to be given the proper treatment. From head to toe your therapist will address those sore spots that build up over time. Though Deep Tissue isn’t exactly proper after a tough workout, your therapist delivers a firm touch with sum relaxing vibration (karate chops) up and down your back and body. Don’t underestimate the benefits YOU can receive from this vital step in your wellness plan as the benefits are innumerable.

Where does Massage fit in with conditioning?
In general, there are three stages the body goes through when training:

1. A break down stage: occurs when an athlete trains hard and the body’s tissue have been worked to their capable load

2. Rejuvenation stage: the body heals and recovers from the strains applied to it during exercise

3. Buildup stage: the body adapts to the increased strain applied to it by growing muscle tissue, increasing circulation, and overall increasing your load capabilities

Massage should be applied to stages 2 and 3: when the body is repairing itself, therapy can greatly increase the rate of recovery and aid in the healing process, which also benefits the strengthening phase.

The break down stage in exercise creates stiffness and tenderness in the muscles. This is particularly true when the stress applied to the body has grown beyond its equilibrium (comfort zone).

Most athletes feel tenderness in their muscles 1-2 days after exercise. Causes for tenderness include muscle or connective tissue damage, muscle spasms, and a buildup of toxins, such as lactic acid, and other waste products produced by the body during a strenuous exercise routine.

 Excessive Overtraining and the Benefit of Massage

Over training can lead to additional physical problems, such as loss of sleep, increased resting heart rate, slower recovery, lower overall energy, and is typically caused by a small recovery time frame between workout sessions—the body has not had adequate time to rebuild and restore. Therapy can improve the time frame between strenuous workouts by accelerating the body’s recovery time, promoting a faster healing, and increasing the circulation to those areas of the body most affected.

Why?

The main purpose of sports massage therapy is to help alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissues during physical activity. Where minor injuries and lesions occur, due to overexertion and/or overuse, massage can break them down quickly and effectively. It will help prepare the athlete for peak performance, to drain away fatigue, to relieve swelling, to reduce muscle tension, to promote flexibility and to prevent injuries. Sports massage can help prevent those annoying injuries that so often get in the way of performance and achievement, whether a person is an athlete or a once a week jogger.
