Therapeutic Sports Massage

Athletes are known for pushing their bodies to the absolute limit. They tend to set high performance goals and will drive their bodies to achieve them. Routinely stretching their physical limits through physical movements can leave the body tight, sore, and overextended. Therapeutic sports massage is a type of massage technique that focuses on treating soft tissue aches, pains, and injuries that are associated with those who participate in regular athletic activities.
Sports medicine has a wide array of treatments, and at Medici Spine & Pain, we offer effective sports massage therapy to help soft tissues recover and accelerate the body’s healing process. Massage can reduce muscle stiffness and improve relaxation by reducing heart rate and blood pressure. As the body relaxes, it heals.
Therapeutic sports massage is being widely used across the world because of its many benefits. If you watch any professional sports documentary or “behind the scenes” clip, you will get a glimpse of what state-of-the-art locker rooms look like. They all have massage tables. Therapeutic sports massage has become an integral part of most athletic regimens. The belief is that massage can provide an extra edge to athletes. Not only are high-performing athletes completing their intense workouts, but they are incorporating sports massage into their workouts. More and more athletic trainers and coaches are realizing that a complete workout routine includes both exercise and massage. Massage following an intense workout helps to care for the wear and tear on the body and any minor injuries that naturally occur with strenuous movements. The benefits of therapeutic sports massage make it an ideal complement to a total conditioning program.
Something to note about therapeutic sports massage is that it is not limited to dedicated athletes. Anyone who routinely stretches their physical limits can benefit from massage. Mothers who carry around infants and toddlers, children who care for their elderly parents, nurses who move patients, and those who tend to a garden are examples of others who use their bodies strenuously. Incorporating therapeutic sports massage into their routines can benefit every aspect of their lives. This therapy helps people stay in shape and recover faster from the strain on their bodies.
At Medici Spine & Pain, we believe that incorporating a wide variety of treatments is necessary to improve optimal wellness. Therapeutic sports massage can be used as a stand-alone treatment to enhance your body’s physical performance or in conjunction with other treatment options to relieve chronic pain and speed up healing during the rehabilitation process. Whether you are an athlete, a stay-at-home mom, a nurse, or are recovering from an injury, contact Medici Spine & Pain to learn more about our multidisciplinary approach to wellness.
