Sports Massages

Improves circulation and prevents muscle fatigue: The movements of sports massage significantly increase blood flow, which in turn allows the muscles to better absorb both oxygen and essential nutrients.

Prevents muscle injuries: Sports massage focuses on maximizing muscle elasticity. By increasing muscle flexibility through sports massages, it becomes less likely to suffer injuries during workouts.

Recovery of trained muscles: Post-workout sports massages allow the muscles to recover more quickly, enabling the client to perform recurring workouts.

Relief from muscle pain: Sports massage accelerates the production of endorphins in the body. For this reason, sports therapies through massages allow this overproduction of endorphins to act as the body's natural painkillers.

Psychological well-being: As a general condition of different types of massages, an optimal relaxation level is achieved to improve the client's psychological state. In the case of sports massage, there are specific stages to work on the client's mental state through physical exercises and breathing techniques.

Step 1 of sports massages: Approach

Sports massage is a technique that requires the concentration and physical and mental comfort of the client. It is essential to create an appropriate and trustworthy environment to achieve this first goal. Any friction or tension that is not eliminated in the first stage of the massages at our medical SPA undermines the benefits of the massages.

Step 2 of sports massages: Technique and movements

Sports massages begin with warm-up exercises, performed using gentle movements over the target muscles, so that they are fully prepared for the application of more technical and deeper movements.

Depending on whether it is a pre-workout sports massage or a post-workout sports massage, the therapist at our medical SPA in Miami will combine the appropriate movements on the target muscles. The most common technical movements in sports massages are compression, kneading, percussion or vibration, friction, and stretching exercises, after treating the surrounding tissues of the muscles being worked on.

Sports massages can be focused or full-body, and the therapist's decision in choosing the type of sports massage will be entirely based on the client's goals, which will be described through a series of questions completed in the first stage of the sports massage method.

Step 3 of sports massages: Finishing or cooling down

The process of concluding sports massages is based on gentle movements that allow for muscle relaxation. During this stage, the therapist will be able to determine and communicate some useful methods and exercises to maintain the client's muscle health. It is very important to hydrate the body during the recovery or reintegration process of the client.

The benefits of sports massages are very useful on a daily basis for users who exercise systematically. It is not necessary to be a competitive or high-performance athlete. Sports massages are useful for gym workouts or outdoor exercises. Sports massages can also combine their techniques and movements to adapt to pre-training or post-training goals.

Although many people identify sports massage as a therapy for professional athletes, this couldn't be further from the truth. Sports massages are useful for anyone who exercises, especially for those who do it regularly.

The duration of sports massages is determined by the type of massage or rather, by the goal pursued with the sports massage therapies. In the case of pre-workout massages, they should last between 20 and 40 minutes. For post-workout sports massages, they should last approximately between 45 and 60 minutes.

Sports massages can be performed in the training area, although this type of practice is only available in high-performance sports centers. Additionally, in gyms or sports facilities, sports massages tend to be expensive. It is highly recommended to enjoy sports massages in a medical spa. At our Spa, we have the necessary facilities to offer top-level sports massages.

One of the main concerns of clients is determining the appropriate clothing for sports massages. According to our professional therapists and massage experts, it is key that the clothing is elastic and does not impede the therapist's access. Yoga leggings and fitted t-shirts are recommended, as long as they don't restrict movement. The shoes for a sports massage session should be easy to remove, so it is recommended that they are not laced up.
