What is a Sports Massage? – Sarah Fisher

There is something so mentally and physically satisfying about a good run, whether it’s a short or long distance or even just a beginner. Runners should know the importance of taking care of their muscles. There are plenty of other exercises you can do to clear your mind as well, such as walking, jogging, or even yoga.

Sports massage is a great way to do so and a great addition to your health care routine. With any activity, you add stress to the muscles, causing general “wear and tear” and inflammation. Common injuries that go along with running are plantar fasciitis, shin splints, tendinitis, and iliotibial band friction.  With the addition of massage to your lifestyle, it can help reduce inflammation, flush lactic acid build up, decrease muscle tension and increase your flexibility.

It’s important to make sure you are taking care of any aches and pains you may be feeling before it becomes an ongoing injury which can be physically and mentally draining. Keeping your muscles healthy and strong is important in making sure you are working at full potential with any activity you take part in. You don’t want any injuries to last any longer then they have to after all, this is why its an awesome idea to get a sports massage.
