Massage
Sports massage can provide many benefits to the physical and mental condition
Sports massage is the application of a number of hand movements to a bare body part of a healthy athlete, with the aim of improving, maintaining and/or eliminating any adverse effects of his/her sports practice.
Sports massage is applied to reduce symptoms of fatigue that are the direct result of physical exertion (sport or other activity in daily life).
The waste products that cause symptoms of fatigue, pain or cramps are massaged out of the muscles. This has a positive effect on the metabolism, which makes one recover faster and allows one to perform faster again. It can have a preventive effect on injuries.
Besides the above mentioned effects, sports massage, like almost any form of massage, results in psychological and physical relaxation. Besides a wonderfully relaxed feeling, this effect will also allow the body to recover faster and function better.
Because sports and other activities in daily life can have the same influence on our body, (sports) massage is suitable for everyone, even non-athletes. N.B. Sports massage can also be used to activate muscles for a sports activity, as part of (not replacing!) a warm-up.
