Common Injuries Treated With Sports Massage
Two types of Injuries
Acute injuries are usually the result of a single, traumatic event. Common examples include wrist fractures, ankle sprains, shoulder dislocations, and hamstring muscle strain.
As such, chronic injuries are often referred to as overuse injuries – injuries resulting from overusing one body area while playing a sport or exercising over a long period. Some common examples of chronic injuries are stress fractures, tennis elbow, shin splint, runner’s knee and heel inflammation.
Common Injuries
Sports massage therapy is highly effective for a variety of common injuries, including:
-
Ankle Sprains: Helps reduce swelling, pain, and improve mobility after twisting or rolling the ankle.
-
Hamstring Strains: Aids in muscle relaxation and repair for injuries caused by overstretching or sudden movements.
-
Shin Splints: Relieves pain and inflammation associated with overuse, common in runners.
-
Tennis Elbow: Reduces inflammation and pain from repetitive arm movements.
-
Runner’s Knee: Alleviates pain around the kneecap and improves flexibility.
-
Shoulder Injuries: Eases pain and improves range of motion in the shoulder due to overuse or trauma.
-
Lower Back Pain: Relieves tension, improves flexibility, and reduces pain from muscle strain or poor posture.
-
Achilles Tendinitis: Reduces inflammation and supports tendon repair in the Achilles.
Sports massage therapy effectively manages both acute and chronic injuries by reducing pain, decreasing inflammation, improving mobility, and accelerating recovery. It is essential for rehabilitation and overall wellness for athletes, as well as for treating pain associated with everyday activities.
