Sports massage Auckland
Sports massage has long been a great way to help your recovery. Massage helps improve circulation, loosen up tight muscles and maintain mobility. It is important to understand the different types of massage and what may be appropriate for your particular need. Massage can help with improving flexibility, help reduce inflammation or help address overuse issues. We see clients from all walks of life and all sporting backgrounds and abilities and of all ages. Sports massage Auckland can help you find the perfect therapist to help with your training and help to reduce any muscular tension, which may develop as a result of training or delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Sports massage can help many runners, cyclists and other sports help break free from tension and improve training recovery. Deep tissue massage can form part of the sports massage you are receiving, however other techniques such as myofascial release are also used where appropriate. We offer sports massage at a number of locations around Auckland, simply choose your suburb and book directly with the clinic via our easy to use online booking system. Our clinic search offers an easy solution to finding the right therapist for you right on your doorstep.
We are often asked: What is sports massage Auckland ?
To dig a bit deeper into this, let’s look at the science. In ‘The Role of Massage in Sports Performance and Rehabilitation: Current Evidence and Future Direction’ from the North American Journal of Sports Physical Therapy , Jason Brummitt explains:
‘Sports massage is defined as a collection of massage techniques performed on athletes or active individuals for the purpose of aiding recovery or treating pathology.8 Three forms of massage are frequently reported in the sports medicine literature: effleurage, petrissage, and deep transverse friction massage (DTFM).7Effleurage techniques are performed along the length of the muscle, typically in a distal to proximal sequence.1–3,8 These techniques are executed throughout a massage routine, with the strokes performed slowly utilizing light or gentle pressure.1–3,8 The petrissage techniques include kneading, wringing, and scooping strokes.1–3,8 These techniques are generally performed with deeper pressure to patient tolerance.1–3,8 Deep transverse friction massage (also known as cross-friction massage) is performed by using the fingers to apply a force moving transversely across the target tissue.’
So, now that we know what it is, how does it actually influence the way we recover from sports or help us to improve our performance ? Some of the areas where we often see improvements are DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) , flexibility, strength and blood flow, as well as clearing lactate from the blood.
