Your massage will begin with a series of faster lighter strokes to soften the muscle. This simulates your muscle sensors and makes tissues more supple to work with. It also helps you relax so you can switch off and enjoy the rest of the treatment.
When muscles become ‘tight’ they don’t move as freely, are in a state of strain, or in contraction. These stokes work deep through the layers of muscle, encouraging nutrients to the area by increasing circulation. This also act as a detox by flushing your lymphatic system through.
'Tight' muscle tissue often feels hard, tender and can give rise to ‘knots’. Sports massage is great for reducing these knots using trigger pointing techniques allowing the surrounding muscle to relax. If the muscle tissue has had damage then scar tissue may be present, like a scab on the muscle this can too be cleared using massage techniques.
Don’t worry if your masseur starts using a massage gun or a funny looking piece of plastic. These masage tools are often used to help mobilise the tissues and treat the deeper muscle layers, making your massage more effective.
In some instances, you may benefit from you treated muscles being steadily stretched out afterwards. Your masseur is trained to guide you through these & can send you short videos so you can repeat them at home.
