Sports massage naturally boosts athletic performance. At Back & Neck Care Chiropractic & Sports Massage, our chiropractor recommends massage therapy to patients participating in sports on any level or recovering from a sports-related injury. Though exercise promotes health, it puts stress on the body. With massage therapy, however, athletes maximize performance, accelerate healing and recovery, improve flexibility, and prevent future sports-related injuries. Athletes improve athletic performance with the following benefits of massage:
As an added benefit, the muscle relaxation which results from massage also translates into psychological relaxation. Massage releases endorphins, which reduce feelings of depression or anxiety, leading to improved focus on the playing field.
Our Vancouver chiropractor offers athletes natural sports injury pain relief with massage. As a natural alternative to pain medications, massage reduces pain and relaxes muscles. Most pain experienced is due to built up scar tissue, tension, and lactic acid in the muscles. Massage relieves this pain by relaxing muscles, increasing circulation, and breaking up scar tissue.
