Your pain may have a muscular component to it?
There are many sports that require repetitive use and there are many athletes that over-use their bodies. Often a small minor injury can lead into a more chronic condition.
Baseball players often sustain rotator cuff injuries, which are directly related to muscle strains of the shoulder. If left untreated their muscles overtime will limit range of motion and cause friction and inflammation. Pain and weakness can be debilitating for any length of time.
Golfers often sustain hip and back injuries from the high intensity twisting that is necessary for club head speed.
Runners often seek out sports massage therapists to help decrease muscular tension within their muscles especially of the hips, thighs, calves and feet.
Sports Massage is a type of massage that is used to work on athletes from professionals to weekend warriors alike. Sports massage doesn’t focus on a specific technique but aims to prevent and treat muscular problems arising from sports and exercise. Sports massage may be applied before, during, or after a specific sporting event or activity.
