Sports Massage Therapy 2.09

The role of a Sports Massage Therapist is to deliver safe and effective massage to meet the needs of a client. You do not specifically have to take part in sport to benefit from sports massage but anyone that wishes to keep a healthy lifestyle. Muscle tightness can occur through both exercise and long spaces of time sat for long periods of time.
Physical effects include stretching soft tissue through the rigorous movements and increasing blood circulation, relieving muscle tension, improve flexibility of muscle, reduce muscle spasm, reduce swelling- massage will increase movement and temperature which will increase lymph flow leading to fluids being re-absorbed into the circulatory system.
Physiological effects of sports massage include increased blood and lymph flow-localised blood circulation may increased as a result, increased supply of oxygen and nutrients to the soft tissue- through increased blood flow haemoglobin and red cell count may also increase, removes waste products from the muscle –through being re-absorbed via the lymphatic system into the circulatory system, relives pain and stimulates the nervous system. Psychological factors are also achieved such as relieving tension/ anxiety through the pleasant experience resulting in a relaxed state of mind after the treatment has gone ahead.
