Massage and weight training..
Massage supports a well-defined bodybuilding physique by increasing circulation and improving muscle tone. Damaged and tight muscle tissues do not hold blood well, resulting in diminished muscle tone. During a specialised massage or sports massage the techniques being used will move fluid through blood vessels and lymph nodes keeping the muscles healthy and therefore the exercise becomes far more effective leading to increased endurance exercise performance level including running and cycling
When the demand is high, so is the maintenance..
Sports Massage for the benefit of a healthy muscle function..
You can only push your body to reach your optimum goal whilst lifting weights
if you also consider the overall health of your muscle.
Does weight exercise make you lose body weight?
Although cardio exercises are also important, some individuals find them boring or experience restrictions in the legs preventing them from doing running or cycling in which case the controlled weight lifting provided you have no health issues preventing you from doing them, can contribute to weight loss. The way strength training helps you lose weight is by building muscle tissue. The more muscle mass you have, the higher your metabolic rate tends to be, it also helps your body burn more fat, which is vital for the benefit of weight loss.
Do the type of exercise you enjoy in a safe way..
Do you drop your chin whist running on a treadmill to check your performance level?
Continually dropping your chin to keep an eye on your performance or fitness level can effect your neck muscles and become a strain leading to neck pain
Why it is not recommended to run on a treadmill
on a daily bases?
Going for long runs on the treadmill day after day without rest and recovery will eventually lead to an overuse or injury which becomes a strain on your muscles, because it is a repetitive motion and will primarily target the same muscles and joints over and over. Regular Sports Massage can be beneficial to maintain the healthy functioning of muscles and therefore prevent and reduce the impact of strain when running on a regular bases.
Massage for painful Deltoid Muscle
Deltoid strains can be caused by numerous mechanisms. Most commonly they result from overuse of the muscle without adequate rest. This can lead to discomfort in the area of the deltoid muscle with associated swelling and loss of function. A forced eccentric contraction of the shoulder can lead to strain of the deltoid muscle while weight lifting. Less commonly, a direct traumatic blow to the shoulder can cause a deltoid strain. Massage can help reduce swelling and promote healing through targeted manipulation of soft tissue.
Age 50 plus and exercise..
Staying active in your 50s and beyond can be the best gift you give to yourself. Exercise can enhance your energy levels, keep you at a healthy weight, and even possibly reduce some of the symptoms associated with aging. Exercise can be good for your brain and emotional state as well as your body.
When Sports Massage goes hand in hand with regular exercise..
Pushing your muscles to the limit's without nourishment?
Pushing yourself past your limit during endurance training or performing excessive weightlifting may make you feel a sense of personal accomplishment. Your muscle might not agree with you. Sports Massage will ensure that your muscles get the nourishment they need by pushing fresh blood containing vitamins minerals oxygen and more in to your muscles to stay nourished and healthy.
How does blood affect your muscles?
Low blood volume can make muscles function inefficiently, which predisposes one to injury. Quality of blood flow also plays a role. The blood's role is to carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells. To ensure that the muscle is receiving the daily nutrients needed for the muscle to remain healthy.
