Pre-Event: A quick treatment of stretches and compression is a supplement to warm-up. It boosts circulation and increases flexibility and range of motion, leaving muscles relaxed and ready for action. Pre-event massage can help prevent muscle and tendon injuries and reduce the strain and discomfort of training. It also can be a great psychological advantage in competition.
Post-Event: Recovery after a workout involves not only the normalization and repair of tissue, but also general relaxation and mental calming. Post-event sports massage uses slower, more gentle techniques to normalize circulation, relieve fatigue, quicken the removal of toxins, relieve muscle spasms, and prevent soreness.
Maintenance: The application of massage therapy on a regular basis with a treatment plan and long-term goals helps keep the body working in top condition at all times, and can make pre-event training less of a chore.
