Sports Massage or Soft Tissue Therapy is the manipulation and mobilisation of soft tissue structures such as muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue. It helps to improve muscle functionality increasing flexibility and elasticity of the muscle fibres. It does also release tension and is effective in reducing pain and discomfort. When muscle tension builds up and it is not treated effectively, in the long term it can cause chronic pain and may lead to injuries.
Regular treatment can help to prevent injury. Compression (dry technique): This technique allows the therapist to identify spots of tension, tender muscles, adhesions or scar tissue. It also helps to warm up, flash and relax the tissue and addresses other tissue receptors. It also deactivates or relaxes tense muscles when using deeper strokes. Effleurage: It consists of long and smooth strokes along the fibres of the muscle.
It allows the therapist to palpate any irregularities of the tissue as well as to establish the first contact with the client's skin.
