Olympic athletes and their coaches have sworn by massage therapy for years, going so far as to keep massage therapists on the payroll indefinitely. Until recently, there hasn’t been conclusive evidence that massage really does have a positive effect on athletes. However, thanks to new studies and some backing by reputable sources, the benefits of massage are being taken seriously. And those benefits are not just for the pros. They’re extended to anyone who participates in a regular exercise program. Research shows that in relation to exercise and athletic participation, massage can do the following:
~ Reduce muscle tension
~ Help athletes monitor muscle tone
~ Promote relaxation
~ Increase range of motion
~ Decrease muscle stiffness and soreness after exercise
~ Enhance athletic performance
~ Help prevent injuries when massage is received regularly
