Sports Massage Therapy
Sports Massage Therapy for Men in Dubai
Sports massage therapy is a massage technique that is perfect for those suffering from back pain, stress, or posture issues. After rigorous training and workout sessions, muscles become sore and begin to form knots. This can also lead to tightening of tissues. Even regular stretching does not release this tightness.
Why Consider Sports Massage?
While commonly associated with athletes, sports massage isn’t just for those in sports. A change in your training routine or work habits can lead to pain, fatigue and muscle spasms due to poor technique and posture. Left untreated, these can lead to bigger problems, affecting your entire body. Whether you’re dealing with golfer’s elbow, tennis elbow, or general stiffness, a sports massage can help loosen those tight muscles and help you feel your best.
We recommend booking a session with a sports massage therapist as soon as you notice stiffness or a lack of flexibility. These sessions not only relieve stress and improve blood flow, but also flush out toxins and lactic acid, allowing your muscles to recover and function better.
How Does it Work
Procedure: Sports massage can be uncomfortable at times as it targets deeper muscles, but the therapist will adjust the pressure and technique to ensure comfort. During the session, your therapist will use firm pressure and slow strokes with hands, fingers, and elbows and may use other techniques like stretching and kneading.
Aftercare: Some soreness after the session is normal and should go away within a day or two.
In the end, the therapist will check on your comfort and provide tips on managing any discomfort.
