Benefits of Sports Massage for Skiing
As winter approaches, the mountains showcase powdery landscapes and adrenaline-filled adventures. For skiing enthusiasts, skiing is not just a sport but a pleasure. Before strapping on those skis, it’s important to take care of the body’s needs after a day of carving through the snow. This is where a sports massage comes in, offering a host of benefits that can elevate your skiing experience to new heights and ensure you come home injury-free.
Benefits of a sports massage before skiing:
1. Increases flexibility and range of motion: It’s important to make sure your body moves properly before you start skiing. Sports massages, such as stretches and massages, can help relax tight muscles, ease joint flexibility and increase joint mobility. This gives your body the necessary recovery on more challenging slopes, reducing the risk of strain and injury.
2. Improves circulation and thermal regulation: A sports massage can stimulate blood flow to the muscles, washing waste products out of the body and providing effective oxygen and nutrition. This increases the muscular condition allows skiers to reduce the chance of injury.
3. Reduces stress and tension: Skiing requires physical and mental preparation, and stress and tension can hinder performance. Sports massage not only targets physical challenges but promotes relaxation by reducing cortisol levels and releasing endorphins, the body's natural painkillers which calm the mind and relaxes the body, allowing skiers to approach the slopes with confidence and a heightened sense of well-being.
Benefits of sports massage after:
1. Faster recovery: Pushing the limits on steep inclines causes muscle fatigue and pain. Sports massage aids recovery by reducing inflammation, reducing muscle soreness and speeding up muscle repair. Sports massage techniques help reduce fatigue and stiffness, allowing skiers to bounce back faster.
2. Prevent delayed onset muscle pain syndrome (DOMS). DOMS is a common side effect after strenuous physical activity, including skiing. You can reduce the severity and duration of DOMS by incorporating sports massage into your post-skiing routine. The increased blood flow created by massage helps wash away the metabolites that build up during exercise, reducing muscle soreness and stiffness.
3. Promotes relaxation and stress management: Just as a pre-ski sports massage helps to relax and reduce stress, a post-ski massage offers the same benefits. By releasing stress and encouraging relaxation, sports massage facilitates physical and mental stamina, ensuring you feel rejuvenated.
Sports massage is an invaluable tool for skiers, offering many benefits before and after hitting the slopes. From speeding up your recovery and encouraging relaxation, adding a sports massage can boost your performance and help you have an injury-free skiing experience.
If you feel you would benefit from a Sports Massage, our Sports Massage Therapists are available in our Horley Clinic.
