Sports people value massage very highly – sports massage works on several levels. Used before exercise it can prepare the body for the increase in activity not only by warming and loosening the muscles and joints, but also by stimulating the system, both physically and mentally. This is the key to improved performance.
After an exercise session, massage speeds up the elimination of waste products(in particular lactid-acid) by stimulating the lymphatic system. The accumulation of these waste products during exercise is the cause of much of the stiffness and pain experienced afterwards.
A routine of pre-exercise massage and limbering will help to prevent strains. Most sports also put increased strain on the legs, buttocks and back. Previous injuries can make the back prone to recurrent pain. With regular and thorough back massage (particularly before exercise), the likelihood of injury is reduced.
