Why Sports Massage?
Sports massage helps athletes prevent injuries and enhance performance. It improves flexibility, reduces injury risk by 30%, and lowers cortisol levels. Key techniques include deep tissue, friction, and stretching.
Understanding Dry Needling
Dry needling targets muscle trigger points with fine, sterile needles. It creates a 'twitch' response that releases tightness, increases blood flow, and alters pain signals. It is not acupuncture; it is based on Western anatomy.
Benefits of Joint Mobilisation
This manual therapy restores joint motion through graded oscillations. It helps reduce stiffness in the spine, shoulder, and hips, improving synovial fluid production and joint nutrition.
Injury Prevention 101
Prevention is better than cure. Consistent massage, proper warm-ups, strength training, and listening to early warning signs (like soreness lasting >48 hours) are crucial for longevity.
