Sport and massage

What effect does a massage have after exercise?

A massage helps to keep your skin and muscles healthy. If you exercise a lot, waste products accumulate in your muscle and connective tissue. With a good massage, these substances are removed, so that you achieve better sports performance. That is why many top athletes receive a massage every day.

 

Can I be massaged in serious pain?

In case of muscle aches and stuck muscles you can feel free to undergo a massage. Please indicate in advance which complaints you have. Then I can give extra attention and if necessary see if something else is going on. However, I am not specialized in the treatment of serious physical complaints. In that case, I will refer you to the GP or a specialist.

How is a sports massage built?

I usually start with 'intermittent pressing' on the back, which triggers the removal of waste from the connective tissue. Then I massage the back and shoulders, I make the muscles flexible and knead where tension is stuck. In addition, I also remove the lactic acid that causes the muscle pain (if you suffer from it) and I tackle knots. Then the legs and usually the buttocks, everything according to your wishes and needs. Depending on the time, I do feet and front, including the arms.
