Sports Massage Therapist
Sports Massage Therapy
Sports massage therapy is a specialized form of massage designed to support athletes before, during, and after physical activity. This technique alleviates pain, reduces muscle tension, and promotes faster recovery times. By utilizing various techniques such as stretching or deep tissue massage, sports massage therapy is able to help athletes optimize their performance, boost overall wellbeing, and prevent injuries.
Deep Tissue Sports Massage
Deep tissue sports massage is used to treat various musculoskeletal issues. A therapist performing deep tissue sports massage will apply sustained pressure using deep, slow strokes to target deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. This form of massage is designed to treat stiffness and muscle pain; therefore, it's highly recommended for all people suffering from such conditions.

Techniques used for improving Athletic Performance
Massage therapy has been used to improve athletic performance for centuries. One of the common sports massage techniques is a pre-event massage which includes several motions, like compression, kneading, percussion, joint mobilization, vibration, and stretching of all muscles.
Another technique, known as deep tissue massage, uses more intense pressure aimed at specific areas of tightness or stress in the body.
And lastly, sports massage is specifically tailored to athletes to maximize their performance, help improve muscle strength, reduce fatigue and soreness, and increase flexibility and range of motion.
Faster Recovery and Injury Prevention
Sports massage is an effective tool for athletes to help them achieve their peak performance. It helps break down scar tissue, increases circulation in the affected area, and reduces inflammation. This improved circulation helps athletes heal faster from their injuries.
Sports massages can also help stretch out muscles before strenuous activities and keep them loose afterward, reducing the risk of injury due to strain or fatigue. This massage can be used before or after physical activity and during rest periods to maximize performance and reduce soreness.
Benefits of regular Sport massages
Regular sports massages can offer a number of benefits to athletes and average individuals, ranging from improved performance to quicker recovery times. Massages can help athletes prepare for strenuous exercise by increasing blood flow, flexibility, and range of motion and reducing muscle tension.
On the other hand, average individuals can experience increased muscle blood flow, increased lymph flow, musical pain relief, a positive sense of wellbeing, and improved sleep patterns, among other things. Now is the right time to book your sports massage therapy Vancouver.

Laramae is a thorough and skilled RMT. I have a fairly complicated collection of injuries but she wasn't intimidated by it and dove right in. She provided me with a follow up exercise which I really appreciated. I found making an appointment simple and her location easy to find. I will definitely be going back.
