Sports injuries can be devastating for professional athletes and amateurs alike. Not only are sports injuries painful and physically unpleasant, they can also delay or permanently end a sporting career. Massage therapy is a holistic healthcare practice that can help make the injury recovery process as smooth as possible when used in combination with other rehabilitation methods. By increasing blood flow throughout the body, massage therapy encourages recovery by pumping oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues and vital organs, thereby hastening the recovery process. Here is some more information about how massage therapy can help heal your sports injury at an accelerated rate.
Sprained or Twisted Joints
If you’re suffering from a sprained or twisted ankle or knee, massage therapy can help encourage a speedy recovery. A Registered Massage Therapist can warm muscles and stretch tight tissue to reduce swelling, which can alleviate pain and facilitate healing. Massage therapy is also helpful to alleviate pain associated with back pain and pinched nerves.
Broken Bones
Broken bones are more serious than simple sprains. If you’ve recently broken a bone, it’s important to reduce stiffness and improve mobility in the affected area. Through careful and gentle tissue stimulation, massage therapy can increase blood circulation that will reduce stiffness in broken bones. A Registered Massage Therapist can help you relax so that your body can focus on healing rather than the pain and anxiety associated with broken bones. When combined with other forms of medical care, massage therapy can make the healing process of broken bones as efficient as possible.
