Deep Tissue Massages for Athletes

  • June 26, 2015
  • Autumn
  • Celebrate the Season

Anyone involved in sports has probably heard the slogan “No pain, no gain.” Athletic activities take a toll on your body, and even though you often end up stronger, you are almost guaranteed to suffer through temporary or chronic pain to reach your goals.

However, you shouldn’t feel that you have to live with your pain indefinitely. One way to relieve this pain is through a deep tissue massage tailored for athletes, often known as a sports massage.

What Makes a Sports Massage Different?

A deep tissue massage, or sports massage, is slightly different than other types of massages. Most massages focus on relatively superficial muscles and are primarily designed to help the body relax.

A sports massage reaches deeper muscles and is focused on specific areas of discomfort rather than your whole body. It isn’t always relaxing, either. Since a sports massage concentrates on muscles that are already tender, the massage may feel slightly uncomfortable.

How Does a Sports Massage Work?

Muscle pain is often caused by adhesions, or bands of rigid tissue in the muscles. A deep tissue/sports massage breaks down these adhesions to relieve your pain and restore normal movement to your muscles. It also improves the circulation in these muscles, which helps to remove cellular waste and heal any damage in the area.

Although you may feel a little sore during or after the visit to your massage therapist in Orem or elsewhere, you should experience a much faster recovery overall.

Who Should Get a Sports Massage?

Anyone who is actively involved in sports can benefit from a deep tissue massage. Whether you’re a pro or a young athlete, a massage can help your body heal as quickly as possible.

Even if you’re not involved in organized sports, you may benefit from a sports massage. If you experience pain or muscle soreness from jogging, biking, weightlifting, or other athletic activities, a deep tissue massage can drastically speed up your recovery time. They can also help manage or eliminate pain from chronic injuries.

    After I started training for next years Iron Man my muscles started feeling more tight than usual. I’ve been training for this for the past year, so I thought that it was unusual that my body isn’t recovering as quickly as it usually does. I was wondering about what I should do about this, but now I’m considering getting a deep tissue massage. It seems exactly what I need to loosen up all of my tight muscles that haven’t been able to relax since I started training. I hope that I’ll finally be able to start training as much as I used to after getting a deep tissue massage. Thanks for the information!
