Sports massage

What is sports massage

Sports massage is a technique of intensive and deep treatment of muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia, aimed at supporting and restoring the body during active physical activity. It is used both in the preparatory period — before training or competitions, and after them — for accelerated recovery. This type of massage also reduces the risk of injury and increases the body's endurance.

During the session, the masseur works not only superficial but also deep muscle layers, paying attention to trigger points, areas of tension and overload. The benefits of sports massage are undeniable. It improves muscle elasticity, increases blood circulation, activates lymph flow, promotes the excretion of lactic acid and improves the results of training.

Types of sports massage in SEIZO

SEIZO studio offers two main types of sports massage, each of which is aimed at solving specific problems:

• Pre-training massage. It is carried out shortly before training or competitions. The masseur activates blood circulation, warms up muscles, prepares ligaments and joints for loads. This procedure improves muscle tone and reduces the risk of injury.
• Recovery massage. It is performed after physical exertion. Its purpose is to speed up regeneration processes, reduce muscle pain, relax tense areas and remove metabolic waste products from the body. This massage helps the body to recover faster.
