What is Sports Massage?

Sports massage is a very effective form of therapy for realeasing muscle tension and restoring balance to the musculoskeletal system. Received regularly this may help athletes prevent injuries which might be caused by overuse. A constant build up of tension in muscles from regular activity may lead to stress on joints, ligaments, tendons & the muscles themselves. This may impede sports performance & in the long term lead to more serious injuries.Sports massage therapy can be used to detect variations in soft tissue & using the correct techniques can help the athlete maintain a healthier physical state.

How does Sports Massage work?

Sports massage works by reducing tension in skeletal muscle & therefore reducing the load & strain on joints, increasing circulation & therfore getting oxygen & essential nutrients back into the muscle tissue alowing it to repair tissue damage quicker, breaking down adhesions that restrict normal range ofmotion & increase the risk of injury it also breaks down scar tissue from previous injuries.

For muscle massage and release D.K Sports Massage use a new revolutionary tool called the M.R.I.P (Muscle recovery and Injury prevention tool) aka F.A.T (Fascia abrasiontool)

Developed by Dr. Mark Scappaticci, the revolutionary design of the FAT-Tool features multiple treatment edges and profiles in an all-in-one, tool. This benifits you the customer as massages are focusing on more surface area of the muscle. In addition, fascial tension release is enhanced with the unique, textured surface, which allows for superior grip of the fascia with less direct pressure required.
