Sports Massage – restores muscles and improves physical performance
Sports massage is suitable both for athletes and for those whose daily routine is not related to intensive physical activity.
Sports massage helps to prepare for increased physical load and recover after it (massage helps to remove lactic acid faster). It is also an essential part of quality rehabilitation after various injuries and for preventive purposes. During the massage, muscles are warmed up, stretched, and joints mobilized.
Sports massage helps:
During increased physical load (sports, work) – after massage you feel lighter, energy levels are restored, flexibility improves, and pain decreases.
Reduce the risk of injuries – similar to warming up, sports massage helps muscles, ligaments, and joints move freely in the optimal range of motion, reducing the risk of sprains, cramps, and other common injuries.
Reduce pain – massage promotes scar tissue healing and relieves pain in injured areas.
Relax and focus – massage reduces stress, increases concentration and alertness.
Recovery after physical load – massage helps remove lactic acid faster, accumulated after intense activity.
