Improve Performance With Sports Massage Therapy In 4Th Street Downtown St. Petersburg And Tampa 33607
Athletes attest to the fact that sports massage therapy improves their performance in their chosen sport while bringing a host of other health benefits, as well. For many years now, sports massage therapy has been recognized as an important part of almost all types of sports training. The Florida State Massage Therapy Association (FSMTA), for example, trains massage therapists in the setting up of accredited sports massage teams for state athletic events. Any athlete or sports enthusiast can avail of sports massage therapy from any reputable Professional Massage therapy clinic in St. Pete. These massage therapy clinics also offer Swedish massage therapy, deep tissue massage therapy and pregnancy massage therapy in 4th Street Downtown St. Petersburg and Tampa 33607.
Scientific research has shown that sports massage therapy can help prevent injury, increase flexibility, improve endurance, delay the onset of fatigue and hasten recovery of athletes. When used in preparation and training before athletic events, sports massage therapy enables athletes to give peak performance in competition. Afterwards, sports massage therapy helps them recover from fatigue and heal faster in case of injury.
Massage Envy online magazine’s Fall 2009 issue tells the experience of Ryan De Rosa, a 17 year old baseball player who plays for both his high school team and a separate travelling team, and has been chosen by two national teams, as well. The gifted young athlete plays as pitcher, infield and outfield, showing best form in throwing, batting and catching.
De Rosa started his sports massage therapy two years ago after feeling a lot of physical discomfort from his sport. He says, “I felt a lot of shoulder pain. I had some issues with my throwing arm. My legs were sore, and I was having problems with my knees and hips.” It was then that he met his Massage Therapist from Massage Envy who immediately gave him some relief. From that moment on, De Rosa never stopped having regular sports massage therapy.
De Rosa points out that sports massage therapy has done much more for him than just pain relief. “What I really like about having Jon is that in the past two years, he’s not only helped my problems physically. I’ve also learned so much about my body. And he’ll tell me about the things I can do before and after games and during the week to strengthen and help stretch those muscles out.” He adds, “It relaxes me physically and mentally. My best pitching performances come the day after a massage – without a doubt.”
In fact, the young athlete now considers sports massage therapy indispensable in his training. “My massage therapist, Jon, has been my secret weapon. I couldn’t imagine not having massage as part of my plan.” De Rosa never misses his weekly sports massage therapy sessions.
Any athlete or sports enthusiast can gain the same benefits from sports massage therapy. They should remember, though, to let the professional massage therapist know what particular sport they are involved in so that the massage therapy can be customized to the specific needs of that sport. They should also tell the massage therapist of any body parts that are giving them trouble so that these problems can be addressed properly.
Athletes need not confine themselves to sports massage therapy, though. They should also try Swedish massage therapy and deep tissue massage therapy. When female athletes get pregnant they should continue with their massage therapy regimen through pregnancy massage therapy. With a well rounded massage therapy experience athletes will not only improve their performance in their sport but also improve their overall health and well being for optimum performance in life. Professional massage therapy clinics in 4th Street Downtown St. Petersburg and Tampa 33607 can make this possible.
