Massage Therapy for Weightlifters

Posted on October 24, 2017

sports massage therapist in Eugene ORDresdin Archibald, a contributor for Olympic Lifting, recently published an article on BreakingMuscle.com entitled “The 5 Benefits of Massage Therapy for the Serious Weightlifter.” He describes massage as the most favored method of soft tissue treatment for the recovery process in weightlifting, and discusses the roles massage therapy can play in improving both injury prevention and injury rehabilitation.

The 5 Benefits:

1. Flexibility – Since massage therapy stretches the muscle fibers, flexibility is promoted and maintained. This can also improve balance across complimenting and opposing muscle groups.

2. Circulation – Massage therapy improves circulation, and with better circulation the lifter can breathe easier and move more smoothly. Improved blood flow enhances speeds recovery time, too.

3. Pain Reduction – Massage alleviates muscular pain, whether caused by overwork or injury.

4. Sleep Improvement – Massage therapy has been shown to promote better sleep patterns, actually improving both the quantity and quality of sleep patterns.
