Under-performance, tiredness, pain and fresh injuries ? What can I do about it?

Here are just few contributing factors:

  • Tight muscles and over-training, Unpreparedness.
  • Old and chronic injuries, strains and sprains, scar tissue.
  • Not enough Recovery time, Lactic Acid build up, wrong technique.

All injuries from accidents, falls and sport, even those that were at school, leave scar tissue; tight bands of muscle; tight connective tissue, strained ligaments and tendons.

  • Muscle Length is affected.
  • Hip, shoulder and spinal alignment is affected.
  • Stretching is hard and limited in some areas.

Peak performance is achieved when muscles and tendons have no tension, lactic acid is pumped out, and injuries are worked out. The body will compensate where there is soft tissue trauma, tightness, or scar tissue.

This compensation takes a particular course

  • transferring power to other muscles
  • twisting, hunching or raising one side of the body.

The effect could be:

  • muscular and tendon strain
  • weaker muscle on one side
  • muscular and/or tendon pain
  • new injuries and re-injury

Sports Massage as follow-Up (Post–Event)

Best after a few days, post event massage is a necessary part of rehabilitation after an event. It pumps lactic acid out, loosens muscles and works out any injuries.

  • It is always a slow process to increase training intensity for an upcoming event, yet, pushing too much with a limited stretch and treatment regime, may result in strains, muscle tightness and joint pain, strains and sprains.
  • Get back to your meets and training in the best possible condition.
