Sports massage Dublin is a form of treatment specifically designed for soft tissues injuries. It is commonly performed on athletes. It is a popular technique of applying different types of pressure on the body. Though generally applied using the hands, other body parts, such as the elbows, forearms, knees, and even feet, can also be used. The overall goal of massage is to provide relaxation and well-being.
Sports massage is one of the numerous types of massages designed specifically to treat musculoskeletal injuries and pain. It is also known as manual therapy since it involves the manual application of pressure to knead the affected muscles. To some degree, it also involves manipulation and mobilisation of joints. Aside from treatment, this type of massage also helps prevent injuries, enhance the performance of muscles, and boost overall athletic performance. Sports massage can be classified based on when it is performed. There is a pre-event sports massage done within an hour before a game or activity that is usually followed by an inter-event massage for those who need to rest in between games. A post-event massage, on the other hand, is done when the athlete cools down while a restorative sports massage is performed during rest days.
