Is a massage a luxury or a necessity? I find that I only get body work done when I pull a muscle or can’t get rid of a stubborn knot. I started thinking how nice it would be to have preventative treatments. Therapeutic sports massage focuses on treating soft tissue aches, pain and injuries that are associated with training. Here is an informative article on the topic. “Sports massage can help athletes stay healthy, perform better and recover faster”. http://www.buzzle.com/articles/sports-massage-help-athletes-stay-healthy-perform-better-recover-faster.htmlMany of us are convinced of the physical benefit of massage but research to support the claims that it improves performance is limited.
Will it make you feel better, likely. Will it make you a stronger and faster athlete, probably not...
