Sports Massage: Enhance Recovery and Performance at Ashlee Spa
At Ashlee Spa, we offer Sports Massage, a specialized form of massage therapy designed to support athletes and active individuals. Whether you’re preparing for a competition, recovering from a workout, or managing sports-related injuries, a Sports Massage can improve flexibility, reduce muscle soreness, prevent injury, and enhance overall performance.
Unlike traditional massage, Sports Massage focuses on areas of the body that are often stressed by repetitive movement, physical exertion, and intense training. Using a combination of techniques—such as deep pressure, kneading, stretching, and friction—this massage works to relieve muscle tension, break down scar tissue, and improve circulation to the muscles and tissues.
Key Benefits of Sports Massage:
Improves Flexibility and Range of Motion: By targeting specific muscles and connective tissues, sports massage helps to improve flexibility and joint mobility, making it easier to move with less restriction.
Reduces Muscle Tension and Pain: Whether it’s soreness from a workout or tension caused by physical exertion, sports massage helps relieve tightness, stiffness, and discomfort in muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
Enhances Athletic Performance: Regular sports massage can help increase blood flow, improve oxygen and nutrient delivery to muscles, and boost stamina. It also prepares your muscles for peak performance by keeping them loose and flexible.
Prevents Injury: By focusing on the areas most prone to injury, sports massage helps release muscle tightness, prevent strains, and correct any imbalances in muscle function, reducing the risk of injury during training or competition.
Speeds Up Recovery: Sports massage aids in the recovery process by promoting circulation and reducing lactic acid buildup, which can help to shorten recovery time after intense physical activity.
Reduces Post-Exercise Soreness: Known as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), this common issue following physical activity is alleviated through targeted massage that reduces inflammation and promotes faster healing.
Improves Circulation and Detoxification: The massage techniques used in sports massage enhance blood flow to the muscles, increasing oxygen and nutrient delivery, while also supporting the body’s natural detoxification process by flushing out waste products like lactic acid.
