Pre Sporting Event Massage
Pre event massage is performed before training, competition or sports performance. The purpose of pre-competition massage is to improve blood circulation, flexibility, psychologically prepare people for activity and increase performance.
Preliminary massage is a short and specific massage procedure. Pre-race massage quickly stretches and relaxes muscles, preparing them for activity and optimal performance. The massage is aimed at increasing body temperature and enhancing cardiovascular activity. Blood circulation in the muscles increases, reducing tension and allowing them to relax. An athlete can also use massage before competition for psychological benefits. Emotions associated with participation in sport may include anxiety, stress and fatigue. A massage before a competition helps to relax the athlete and prepare him mentally for the performance.

A pre-event massage helps the body relax before training or performing. Relaxing before an event can be helpful in reducing stress and anxiety. Massage relaxes the body by raising the temperature of the soft tissues of the body and releasing hormones. Massage stimulates the “relaxation response” in the body. Relaxing your body helps your muscles relax and can improve your performance. The beneficial effects of muscle relaxation also promote joint mobility. The muscles relax, allowing the joints to move through their full range of motion.
Pre-competition massage is an effective way to improve muscle flexibility. Massage helps increase flexibility by increasing temperature, increasing tissue elasticity, removing waste, and breaking down scar tissue. Increasing your range of motion before exercise allows all muscles to achieve maximum flexibility and reduce the risk of injury.
