Your First Session:
Louise begins by assessing the client’s specific needs, including any areas of tension, restricted movement, or existing injuries.
They may inquire about the client’s training regimen, sports activities, and goals to tailor the massage accordingly.
Techniques:
Deep Tissue Massage: Utilizing firm pressure and slow strokes to target the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue, addressing chronic tension and adhesions.
Trigger Point Therapy: Identifying and applying pressure to specific points of muscular tension or “knots” to alleviate pain and improve range of motion.
Stretching: Incorporating assisted stretching techniques to enhance flexibility, mobility, and muscle recovery.
Myofascial Release: Manipulating the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles, to release tension and improve tissue elasticity.
Cross-Fiber Friction: Applying transverse pressure across muscle fibers to break down adhesions and scar tissue, promoting better circulation and flexibility.
Target Areas:
Sports massages typically focus on areas of the body that are prone to overuse, strain, or injury due to athletic activities. These may include the neck, shoulders, back, hips, legs, and feet.
Emphasis is placed on addressing muscle imbalances, promoting proper biomechanics, and reducing the risk of injury.
Benefits:
Enhanced Performance: By improving muscle flexibility, circulation, and range of motion, sports massage can help athletes perform at their peak level.
Injury Prevention: Regular sports massage can identify and address areas of tension or weakness before they develop into more serious injuries.
Faster Recovery: By reducing muscle soreness, inflammation, and promoting tissue repair, sports massage accelerates the recovery process after intense training sessions or competitions.
Stress Reduction: Beyond its physical benefits, sports massage can also promote relaxation, stress relief, and mental clarity, aiding in overall well-being.
