We have a passion for helping athletes return to and retain optimal performance through sports massage. Perth may have many places offering sports massage but at Vibrant Life we go that extra mile for our clients, which is why we have so many repeat customers who know we are a tried and tested provider of soft tissue problems.

Sports massage is a highly effective way to alleviate pain which can result from overworking certain muscles during exercise or sporting activities. It can also help keep the body in prime condition and thus it can extend the overall life of a sporting career by restoring mobility, boosting performance and helping injured muscle tissue repair itself.

The Benefits of a Sports Massage

    • Cupping – We can improve blood circulation by applying pressure which compresses and releases blood vessels and supplements their normal pumping action. This process creates a vacuum which sucks fluid through the blood and lymph vessels. Tight or damaged muscles act like a sponge and prevent vital nutrients reaching the muscles so they can repair.

 

    • Tissue Permeability – Massage is a great technique for helping pores in tissue membranes to open, thus allowing fluids and nutrients to pass through freely. This more liberated movement is really important for the transfer of waste products such as lactic acid and it helps muscles absorb oxygen and nutrients which speeds up recovery.

 

    • 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 build up.

 

    • Improve Tissue Elasticity – A variety of techniques can be used to help increase tissue elasticity through sports massage. Perth based Vibrant Life can help decrease muscle tightness and tension, reduce pain, promote stress relief, enhance relaxation and prepare a person for activity.

 

There are many other benefits of sports massage. These include scar tissue improvement, reduction of muscle tension, improved recovery from strenuous exercise and injury prevention.
