Many therapists offer Sports Massage on their ?Massage Menu? yet few understand what Sports Massage is about. When a client comes in requesting a Sports Massage Jarell Martin Jersey , some therapists merely react by going in deep. Sports Massage is so much more.

Whilst Sports Massage does have some aims in common with other forms of massage therapy, the usual experience in conventional massage is to aim to restore the normal function when someone is injured. But in sport there is no ?normal? and athletes are always looking to improve and gain a competitive edge. Most athletes aim to reach a level of performance they can never achieve.

A Sports Massage therapist has great potential to assist the athlete to become better, rather than merely normal. In striving to be better, the athlete attempts to systematically increase the level of training and thereby subjecting the body to gradual and controlled overuse. This overuse can often create imbalances and problems in the soft tissues Bryant Reeves Jersey , which if ignored may become chronic. Clearly this may hinder the athlete?s performance andor rate of improvement. Sports Massage can become a key ingredient in an athlete?s success and this is why top competitors incorporate it as an integral part of their training regime.

So what is Sports Massage? McGillicuddy(1) defines Sports Massage as ?the specific application of massage techniques, hydrotherapy protocols, range of motionflexibility protocol and strength-training principles utilized to achieve a specific goal when treating athletes?. He considers that there are three principles that are vital to understanding what type of Sports Massage to apply to an athlete at any given time. These principles are:  Timing  Technique and  Intent
