Sports massage can stop headaches

More and more people are reporting to our Salisbury and New Forest Centre’s suffering with headaches. Sports massage is fast becoming the treatment of choice to stop this debilitating condition.

The most common treatment prescribed by doctors for headaches are painkillers. Although this can temporarily reduce symptoms it does not necessarily address the underlying issue.

There are many reasons why headaches occur, however, one of the most common is due to tight muscle tissue located in the neck and shoulders. These areas of tightness are known as trigger points.

Trigger points can be described as “little knots” that can be felt within
muscle tissue. They often cause pain at the site they are located,
however, they can also cause pain in other areas of the body. This is
called “referred pain”.

Releasing trigger points can stop the headaches

Trigger points located in the shoulder and neck muscles often refer headache type pain to the head. Taking prescribed painkillers will target the symptoms of the headache but will not treat the trigger points located in the muscles. This is why people suffering with headaches will quite often experience headaches on a regular basis.

Sports massage works by directly targeting trigger points. Over the past few months we have seen dramatic results with the use of sports massage for people suffering with headaches.

Sports massage is a natural way to not only tackle symptoms of headaches but also directly tackle the cause of headaches. If you would like to know more about how sports massage can help you then please contact either our Salisbury Centre or New Forest Centre by clicking here

James Grigg Centres at Salisbury City FC

“James Grigg is responsible for the medical department at Salisbury City FC where sports massage is used frequently”

Sports massage is a key component used within the medical department at Salisbury City FC. It is vital in helping to prevent injuries, aiding recovery from lactic acid build up, improving flexibility, reducing headaches and areas of tight knots.

Why is sports massage called “sports” massage?

The reason why sports massage is called “sports” massage is because it originated in sport. Athletes have exactly the same muscles as non-athletes so it is completely normal to have a sports massage if you don’t play sport. In all honesty it is probably more beneficial to non-sporting individuals to have regular sports massages. This is because non-sporting individuals often have more muscular knots and tightness than athletes.

So can you have a sports massage if you don’t play sport, absolutely!

more benefits

There are so many reasons why sports massage is beneficial

Stretching

The use of sports massage will improve flexibility that normal stretches cannot improve.

Elasticity

Hard training can cause muscle tissue to tighten up and become inelastic. Sports massage can greatly improve muscle tissue elasticity which then improves co-ordination, reaction times and agility.

Tissue permeability

Sports massage can increase tissue permeability which means valuable nutrients and minerals are more easily able to pass through to the muscles. Increased tissue permeability also helps the removal of lactic acid and other waste products that produce as a result of exercise.

Injury prevention

Sports massage greatly reduces the period of rehabilitation after suffering an injury. It also helps prevent injuries from happening in the first place.

Reduction of headaches

Sports massage is one of the most effective ways to stop headaches -

Reducing tension

Sports massage is probably the best way to help reduce built up tension especially in the neck and shoulders.

treatment of back pain

Sports massage for back pain…..

Sports massage is one of the most effective ways to treat back
pain. The majority of back pain will involve tight lower back and leg
muscles. Sports massage is the best way to improve flexibility
within these muscles and help alleviate back pain.

Sports massage is not the only way to treat back pain. Treatment
should also focus on the joints, nerves and core muscle control
around the spine.

It is the combined approach of treatment that leads to successful
long-term results when treating back pain.
