Injuries caused by sports

If you’re a sports enthusiast, you may have noticed teams highlighting their massage therapists, who play a crucial role in supporting athletes. At Regina RMT, we understand how essential massage therapy is—not only for professional athletes but also for weekend warriors looking to stay active. Regular therapeutic massage can aid recovery from sports-related injuries, enhance performance, and reduce the risk of re-injury. Our mobile services make it easy to benefit from massage at home or on your schedule.

Massage therapy offers key benefits for active individuals, such as:

– Improved Circulation– Massage boosts blood flow to muscle cells, helping them absorb essential nutrients and oxygen. This promotes faster energy replenishment and aids in repairing micro-injuries from intense activity.
– Increased Flexibility – Enhanced range of motion allows for greater efficiency and strength during physical activity, ultimately improving performance.
– Faster Recovery– By improving circulation, massage reduces muscle soreness and helps clear out toxins produced during intense workouts, leading to quicker recovery.
– Injury Prevention– Massage stretches and manipulates muscles and connective tissue, boosting elasticity and strengthening tendons and ligaments. This process helps prepare the body to handle strain and may reduce the likelihood of injuries.

Our team of registered massage therapists is experienced in various techniques to meet your needs:

– Trigger Point Therapy– This technique targets painful “trigger points” in the muscles, which can cause referred pain. By applying and releasing pressure on these areas, pain and tension are alleviated.
– Swedish Massage – Using long, smooth strokes, Swedish massage is known for relaxation and improving circulation. It oxygenates the blood, aids in removing toxins, and increases flexibility.
– Deep Tissue Massage– This method, similar to Swedish massage but more intense, reaches deeper muscle layers to relieve chronic tension and promote healing.
– Sports Massage– Tailored to the needs of active individuals, sports massage focuses on areas commonly overworked in specific sports, helping to enhance performance and extend an athlete’s active years.

If these benefits align with your health and fitness goals, reach out to Regina RMT. We’re happy to schedule a consultation to discuss your current wellness and activity level, so we can tailor a massage plan that supports your recovery, performance, and overall well-being.
