During exercise, a build up of waste products and toxins occur in our muscles causing them to ache and feel tired. In addition, the layer of connective tissue that surrounds our muscles can become damaged and misplaced, causing pain, dysfunction and imbalances within the body structure. If these imbalances are not addressed, they gradually become worse until they prevent us from exercising.
Massage therapy can be used to enhance event preparation by warming, stimulating and increasing the flexibility of muscles prior to an event. The massage can take place immediately before an event or in the days leading up to an event. It can help to focus the athlete and is usually a short treatment that concentrates on specific areas of the body.
