A Sports Massage has many benefits & effects.
A sports massage can play an important part in the life of any sportsman or sportswoman whether they are injured or not.

PHYSIAL EFFECTS
Pumping
The stroking movements in massage suck fluid through the body vessels and lymph vessels. By increasing the pressure in front of the stroke, a vacuum is created behind. This is especially improtant iin tight or damaged muscle tissue as a tight muscle will squeeze blood out like a sponge, depriving the tissues of vital nutrients and energy to repair.
Increased tissue permeability
Deep massage causes the pores in tissue membranes to open, enabling fluids and nutrients to pass through This hleps remove waste products such as lactic acid and encourages the muscles to take up oxygen and nutrients which help them recover quicker.
Stretching
Massage can stretch tissues that could not be stretched in the usual methods. Bundles of muscle fibres are stretched lengthwise as well as sideways. Massage can also stretch the sheath or fascia that surrounds the muscle, so releasing any tension or pressure buildup.
Break down scar tissue
Scar tissue is the result of previous injuries or trauma and can effect muscle, tendons and ligaments. This can lead to inflexible tissues that are prone to injury and pain.
Improve tissue elsticity
Hard training can make tissues hard and inelastic. This is on reason why hard training may not result in improvements. Massage helps reverse this by stretching the tissues.
Open micro-circulation
Massage does increase blood flow to tissues, but so exercise. What massage also does is open or dilate the blood vessels and by stretching them, this enables nutrients to pass through more easily.
