As
CrossFit Athletes, we understand that we must endure some aches and pains as a
result of our WOD’s. We hold a lot of those aches and pains in our shoulders,
traps, hamstrings and quads. CrossFit massage speeds recovery and aids those
aches and pains with trigger point massage therapy and deep tissue massage
therapy. A trigger point is a tight area within muscle tissue that causes pain
in other parts of the body.
Trigger
point massage therapy is specifically designed to alleviate the source of the
pain through cycles of isolated pressure and release.
Deep
tissue massage therapy is similar to Swedish massage, but the deeper pressure
is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension with the focus being on the
deepest layers of muscle tissue and tendons.
A
study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that
people’s blood pressure fell after a single 45-60 minute deep tissue massage.
Deep
Tissue massage and trigger point therapy help greatly in the renewal and
recovery of the CrossFit athlete. These techniques not only give our bodies the
release of muscle tension after a rigorous workout, but they also assist in
providing necessary toxins and gases to release from our muscles.
For
anyone participating in regular physical activity, Sports massage therapy every
week or two may be a great addition to your normal regimen.
