Sports massage focuses on
optimizing the health of muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints to prevent
sports injuries or healing after injury. It is used before or after a sporting
event or during training. Sports massage therapists trained in a variety of
massage therapies, including stretching techniques that can be incorporated
into the course of treatment. Please be sure to ask the therapist what massage skills
they are trained in.
Above and Beyond:
Advances in PNF or proprioceptive neuromuscular
relaxation allow for increased flexibility, which is considered to be one of
the most effective ways to increase the range of motion. Using this technique,
the exercise massage therapist gently stretches the muscle or muscle group to
the end for about 10 seconds. Then you can resist the resistance by pushing the
therapist's hand. This position lasted six seconds. Once relaxed, the therapist
then passes the muscle again, positioning it farther than the originally
allowed range of motion. This treatment is very suitable for thigh muscle
tissue, such as your hamstring, quadriceps and adductor muscle, they are inside
your thigh muscles.
Don't Antigonize the Antagonist:
AIS or active isolation
stretching is one of the most common ways to increase the range of exercise
therapy. During the meeting, your therapist will gently push the muscle beyond
its normal range of motion and stretch it to two seconds. This brief stretch
allows the target muscle to extend without triggering the contraction of the
contraction of the antagonist muscle or the muscle opposite the targeted
muscle. For each target muscle, this gentle stretch is repeated several times.
The AIS protocol involves more than 170 different extensions that target all
muscle groups in the body, including difficult palpable muscle groups such as
cashews. Your doctor will choose the right treatment based
on your symptoms and evaluation.
Release Me and Let Me Go:
Myofascial release therapy
is intended to stretch the fascia, around the fibrous tissue of the muscles,
bones and organs, in a continuous sheath of continuous tissue. The therapist
imposes limitations on the development of fascia due to injury or scar
development by applying force directly to the tissue and extending slowly. Slowly increase the amount of pressure until
the practitioner reaches the deep tissue layer. This treatment means relaxing
the fascia and extending through the entire body.
Relax and Release:
Passive soft tissue release is
used to stretch the muscles, the fascia around them, and the tendons that
attach these muscles to the bones. In this Spa Treatment, your therapist will place
the muscle in a relaxed position. In order to achieve this goal, they will put
your limbs together, shorten the muscles. As an example, in order to relax your
hamstring, they bend your knees when lying on your belly. This shortens the
muscles. The therapist then exerts pressure near the origin of the muscle, locks
the muscle in place, and slowly lengthens the muscles by lowering the legs to
the table. The therapist repeats this initiative several times and gradually
exerts pressure on the length of the muscle until it reaches the other end.
This treatment can be applied to the size of muscle groups, from the big
muscles on the thigh to the fingers of small muscles, making it ideal for
systemic treatment.
