Are Sports Massages just for those active in sports? Does a Sports Massage hurt? There are many questions behind Sports Massages that may keep you from trying one out, but we’re here to resolve them with a quick Q&A.
First, what is the difference between a Sports Massage and Deep Tissue Therapeutic massage at Spavia?
Both massages target deeply rooted muscular pain and adhesions, but our Sports Massage combines deep tissue massage, warm salt stones, assisted stretching and our Spavia Therapeutic Cream to relax, soothe and loosen the muscles to help increase range of motion. For athletes, Sports Massage focuses more on healing a previous activity-caused injury or preventing an injury and increasing a person's athletic performance. The areas of focus will differ depending on the physical activity. For example, a dancer might get a Sports Massage that focuses on the feet, legs, and knee joints, while a weightlifter's focus area could be on the upper back, pectoral muscles, and arms.
How is a Sports massage beneficial for those who are not active in sports?
Sports Massage is not just for athletes! Great for the non-athlete suffering from decreased range of motion in their joints. The combination of warm stones, stretching and massage helps to increase circulation, relieve tension, and tight muscles to restore mobility and improve function.
What kind of pressure can I expect?
Similar pressure to our Deep Tissue Therapeutic Massage. Please inform your massage therapist if the pressure is not enough or too much at any time during the massage treatment.
Will a Sports massage help an injury?
Yes and may prevent future injuries from occurring. The most common reason for injury is overuse. Sports massage helps increase circulation ( aiding in healing ), breaks down and re-aligns collagen fibers, and increases tissue elasticity helping both heal and prevent injuries.
How often should one get a Sports massage if there is a focus on a specific area of the body?
Usually, every 1-2 weeks. It is different from person to person and it also depends on the severity of the injury. Once the painful symptoms start to subside then the frequency can be reduced, but who would want to decrease the frequency of receiving an amazing massage at Spavia?
An athlete in our vocabulary is a person who finds happiness in pursuing any type of physical activity, and a Spavia {LOCATION_TITLE} Sports massage will keep you on the right track of recovery and relaxation so that you can continue to do what you love.
