Sports Massage
Sports massage is a professional technique that works on muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It’s designed not only for professional athletes, but also for anyone who actively practices fitness or faces significant physical exertion. Its goals: prepare the body for training, relieve tension after workouts, and speed up recovery.
Sports massage – what you need to know about the procedure
At PIED-DE-POULE Kyiv, sports massage is performed by experienced therapists who combine classical techniques with modern methods.
Sports massage should involve various techniques, as it:
- accelerates muscle recovery after workouts;
- reduces the risk of injuries and overstrain;
- improves blood circulation and lymphatic flow;
- increases endurance and strength;
- relieves muscle tension and pain.
Thanks to these effects, sports massage is equally beneficial for professional athletes and for those who exercise regularly.
Main techniques and methods
In sports massage, specialists use:
- kneading and rubbing to warm up tissues;
- deep pressure to release spasms;
- stretching and vibration to restore mobility;
- light percussion techniques to stimulate muscles.
The choice of technique depends on the goal – preparation for competition or post-workout recovery.
When sports massage is recommended
Massage for athletes is recommended in cases such as:
- before intensive workouts or competitions;
- after strength training to accelerate regeneration;
- for regular fitness enthusiasts as injury prevention;
- during rehabilitation after injuries or surgeries.
Types of sports massage at PIED-DE-POULE
Our salon offers sports massage sessions lasting 60 minutes or 90 minutes, depending on the chosen area and purpose of the procedure. There are several types, and before the session, the therapist may ask about your activity level and which muscle pain troubles you most after exercise.
Preparatory sports massage
This type aims to prepare muscles for physical activity. It stimulates circulation, warms up tissues, and helps prevent injuries. Recommended before training or competition.
Recovery massage after workouts
Recovery massage relieves fatigue, accelerates the removal of lactic acid (eliminating soreness). Most often performed a few hours or the next day after exercise.
Sports massage for the back and neck-shoulder area
This option is especially relevant for people who experience overload in the upper body. Sports back massage helps relieve tension, improve posture, and reduce pain in the neck and shoulders.
Sports massage in Kyiv – indications and contraindications
This procedure is most beneficial for:
- professional athletes;
- fitness and running enthusiasts;
- people with physically demanding jobs;
- those undergoing rehabilitation after injuries.
Contraindications to the procedure
Like any professional massage, sports massage has some restrictions:
- acute inflammatory processes;
- skin damage in the treated area;
- cardiovascular diseases in acute stages;
- oncology;
- high fever.
These contraindications are linked to the fact that massage accelerates metabolism (which in cases of severe inflammation or tumors may worsen the condition). It also raises temperature and blood pressure, potentially putting extra strain on the heart and vessels. That’s why a medical consultation is recommended before booking this type of massage.
Recommendations after a session
After sports massage, avoid heavy physical exertion for a few hours (though light stretching is beneficial), drink plenty of water to flush toxins, and allow your muscles to rest.
