Elite Sports Massage In Richmond: Optimize Performance and Recovery

Sports Massage

Richmond area athletes often request a sports massage to assist in preparing their muscles for intense athletic training. Sports massage is also effective in helping hard-worked muscles recover after an intense performance or following an injury. From reducing and releasing tension in muscles to improved circulation to the removal of waste products like lactic acid during high-intensity activity, sports massage is proven to help relax the body and reduce the chance of muscle injury.

Athletic muscle therapy can be beneficial during preparation, training, competition, and recovery for athletes in any sport at any level. Sports massage generally falls into four main categories:

  • A routine maintenance massage program based on the requirements and activity level of your sport
  • Pre-event massage for specific events or competitions to boost circulation, reduce muscle tension, and assist with mental preparation
  • Post-event massage to increase the flow of recovery nutrients and reduce the effect of delayed-onset soreness
  • Rehabilitative massage for recovery from acute and chronic injuries
