Sports Massage Remedy Muscle Spasms Faster

Sports Massage Remedy Muscle Spasms Faster

I am a housewife and a mother. My injuries relate to children laundry, the everyday duties of taking care of a house and children. I don't have a favorite sport, and interestingly enough, I have gone for a sports massage. I have specific recurring pain, and this is the best massage I have ever had. My husband was reluctant to go for a massage, until I called it a sport massage. He couldn't get there soon enough. This was not a girly day at the spa. It was a manly thing. And he did feel much better (old baseball injury). It can treat frozen shoulders, tender elbow, and pulled hamstring, as well as many other ailments.

Massage is the manipulation of superficial layers of muscle and connective tissue, to enhance function and promote relaxation and well-being. Massage became popular in the US in the 1800s and grew in popularity until the 1930s and 40s. With the development of modern medicine, it was discounted as lesser than. It made a re-appearance in the 1960s when nurses began to use it to alleviate pain in patients. They then realized it was great to do a sports massage on the athletes. In the 1996 Summer Olympics massage was deemed a core medical service and its popularity rose once again. For many athletes a sports massage is the key to their recovery and is a part of their normal routine to help them prepare for the next game or challenge.

If you are looking to modern medicine to cure your issues, maybe you are looking in the wrong place. The art of massage dates way back, back to over 3000 years. It has been documented by the ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians. They all applied forms of massage for many ailments. Hippocrates even wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems.

In many sports, a massage will be performed on an athlete either pre-game or post-game. The athlete will perform better during training, as well as training longer and have fewer injuries. Injuries sustained during the event can be repaired with a sports massage.

People are learning the benefits of massage, and there are more and more jobs available in this field. With any massage, special equipment is used when receiving a sports massage. These therapists are self-employed and will have his/her own equipment.

A typical commercial massage table has an easily cleaned, heavily padded surface, and a horseshoe-shaped support for the head that allows one to breathe easily while lying face down and can be stationary or portable. This is cleaned between massages, keeping everything very hygienic. An orthopedic pillow or bolster can be used to correct body positioning. Sometimes, mats are used.

Next time you feel the ache or pain of either everyday life or any sports injury, consider massage. You don't have to be an athlete to go for a sports massage, and if you are, consider one before training next time. See what it can do for you.

Head to your local spa. See what they offer. You'll probably be surprised at the variety. Take the 30 - 60 minutes to have a sports massage. I did and I'm glad.
