Massage therapy for athletes has become increasingly popular. What has long been considered relaxing can actually improve a person's natural abilities and help them become better athletes. Discover how the benefits of massage therapy boost athletic performance and recovery.

Benefits of Massage Therapy for Athletes

Increases Flexibility

Muscle flexibility is often a requirement for optimal athletic performance and to stay safe while performing. Massage therapy for athletes is a very effective way to increase their flexibility, giving them a slight advantage over their competition.

Improves Blood Circulation

Massage therapy can also improve an athlete's blood circulation. Their athletic performance will be enhanced when their circulation improves because it allows them to breathe easier and more smoothly.

Reduces Pain

The risk of injury is one of the most significant limitations to the performance of all athletes, no matter their sport. So as well as reducing muscle pain, another benefit of massage therapy is that it can speed up the healing process and aid in overall recovery.

Promotes Better Sleep

It has also been shown that massage therapy for athletes can improve sleep quality when done correctly. In order for optimal athletic performance, it is essential that athletes get adequate sleep to allow their bodies to recover.

Encourages Relaxation

Athletes are highly competitive and extremely busy, especially professional athletes. Because of this, they often have difficulty relaxing and taking time for themselves, which results in increasing their stress levels significantly. Relaxation and tension relief can be achieved through massage therapy.

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"
