Sports / Athletic Massage   All athletes strive for victory...   Sometimes they can pay the price.   Major Benefits * Sports massage can reduce an athlete's recovery time by as much as 50%.   * It is 3 to 5 times more effective than resting in combating fatigue and expediting return to peak performance sooner and sustain it longer. Beyond Peak Performance Massage, applied skillfully, is the most effective therapy to releasing muscle tension and restoring balance to the musculoskeletal system. Received regularly, this may help athletes prevent injuries, which might otherwise be caused by overuse. A constant build up of tension in the muscles from regular activity may lead to stresses on joints, ligaments, tendons, as well as the muscles themselves. These muscle imbalances may develop and often go undiagnosed until they are serious enough to cause the athlete discomfort or impede performance. The skilled massage therapist will be able to detect variations in the soft tissues and by using the correct techniques, help the sports person maintain a much healthier physical state.   It may therefore be reasonably claimed that some of the greatest benefits of sports massage is in helping prevent injury. Help athletes recover faster when an injury dose occur. Finally but not least, assist the athlete in reaching peak performance and beyond. "See TESTIMONIALS"
