Chicago Sports Massage Therapy at Ravenswood Chiropractic and Wellness Center

Sports Massage

Sports Massage should be considered as part of a training program for weekend warriors as well as elite athletes. During Sports Massage, your massage therapist concentrates on specifically targeted muscle groups or areas and this helps prevent and treat injuries.

Aside from relieving pain and stiffness from overuse, Sports Massage can restore mobility to injured muscle tissue. By massaging the affected tissue adhesions are released and the muscle fibers become lubricated and move independently as they are intended to. Sports Massage can also reduce swelling and the formation of scar tissue. Circulation is also improved, which not only immediately removes waste products like lactic and uric acid, but it also brings vital nutrients and oxygen to the area which promotes healing and improves muscle tone and quality. This improves performance and aids in the prevention of injury as well as extending the length of your athleticism.
