The strokes of sports massage suck fluid through blood and lymph vessels by creating a traveling vacuum.
Thus replenishing tight or damaged muscle tissue which will have squeezed fluids out, depriving themselves
of vital nutrients and energy needed for repair.

Regular deep sports massage increases the permeability in tissue membranes enabling fluids and nutrients to
pass through. This helps remove waste products such as lactic acid and encourage the muscles to take up oxygen and
nutrients which help them recover more quickly

Regular sports massage will stretch tissues differently to the usual methods by stretching the bundles of
muscle fibers lengthwise as well as sideways. Massage will also stretch the sheath or fascia that surrounds
the muscle, releasing any tension or pressure build up.
|

Regular sports massage will break down scar tissue that is the result of previous injuries or trauma which has led
to inflexibility in tissues such as muscle, tendon and ligament leaving them prone to injury and pain.
|
| |
Regular sports massage will improve the tissue elasticity of a hard trained structures which will have become
stiff and inelastic. Thus allowing improved results from training.
|
| |
Regular sports massage will increase the blood flow to tissues by dilating and stretching the vessels allowing
the blood to pass through more easily. |
