Whether you are a professional sportsman or woman, or simply a
weekender, there is always the danger of sports injuries, whatever sport
you take part in. Physical contact sports such as rugby, boxing,
wrestling, and so on can always result in injuries, but sports like
football, while not designed to be physical contact sports, can also
result in physical contact many, many times during a match.
There are plenty of other sports which can also result in injuries, even
though you might at first glance think that it couldn't happen. Take
golf, for example. It's a simple sport where you walk through some
lovely countryside with a strange stick and hit a small ball with it,
perhaps only an inch across, with the object of putting the small ball
into a little hole in the grass 200 or 300 yards away. You don't even
have to walk. You can use a small buggy and ride instead. What could
possibly go wrong?
Well, when you swing that stick you use quite
a number of muscles, and if you make a mistake you could damage them.
You also walk about five or six miles and you could fall down a rabbit
hole and damage your leg. There is even the chance, albeit small, of
being struck by a flying golf ball from another player who has hit it
incorrectly.
Snooker? Darts? Surely not? Well you are not likely
to be struck by anything or come into contact with anyone, but you can
suffer from repetitive strain injury by reproducing the same sort of
movements over and over – in the case of snooker it can sometimes be for
several hours.
You can even suffer very similar injuries to
sports injuries without taking part in any sport at all. Just sitting
over a laptop all day every day can cause RSI if you are hunched up over
it, as many people are. You can damage muscles through gardening – such
as digging a large plot over by hand and carrying on even though you
know you are tiring, and in some pain, just because you want to get it
finished. Many a gardener does that. The same thing applies to painting
and decorating and other types of DIY.
This is why sports
therapy in London is not just for sportspersons. Massage therapists see
people from all walks of life quite regularly with what are typically
sports injuries but may have been the result of doing something
completely different. However, the good news is that whatever sort of
sports-type injury you are suffering, there is an answer, and that is a
sports massage.
There are a variety of different massage
techniques that can be involved in a sports massage, but it is based on
Swedish massage and is a deep tissue type of massage. It can actually
sometimes be somewhat painful, but hey! – no pain, no gain! Sports
massage therapists will always be on the lookout for the client
suffering any sort of pain and will change the type of work that they
are doing.
One of the strange results of a sports massage is
that you may feel no immediate benefit, but within 24 hours the effects
are most definitely noticeable.
Sports therapy includes a number
of techniques including kneading which is described by the part of the
therapist's hand used, such as thumb kneading, palm kneading, and so on,
and the pressure used depends on the bulk of the tissues under
treatment. The rate of the movement is also important.
Longitudinal gliding is very important and is administered in the
direction of the blood flow, helping to disperse fluids from the point
of injury which reduces swelling and inflammation. It also helps to
relax muscles which are tight.
Trigger point therapy is another
technique that is used to release a tightened muscle that is actually
causing pain in another part of the body, which is known as referred
pain, the trigger point being the point in the muscle which causes or
triggers the pain elsewhere.
There are many other techniques
which a massage therapist can use in order to relieve pain, and a
skilled therapist will use them selectively in order to achieve the best
outcome for the patient.
