5 Reasons Why Jiu-jitsu Players Need Regular Sports Massage

Jiu-jitsu is one of the most physically demanding sports out there. Constant training, sparring, and competing can take a toll on your body after years of hard work. Most people don’t realize that it’s not just physical exhaustion that can lead to injury or pain, but also mental stress. After long periods of time without adequate rest and recovery, muscles start to tighten up which leads to soreness in the joints. Sports massage therapy has been proven as an effective way for athletes to recover from injuries faster and relieve muscle tension so they are able to train at their best again.

Here are 5 reasons why Jiu-jitsu players need regular sports massage: 

1) Getting regular massages helps to keep your muscles healthy by reducing inflammation.

According to www.navacenter.com, “during strenuous exercise, muscles experience a level of exercise-induced trauma and inflammation.” Fortunately for athletes, massage provides the energy needed for healing this muscle damage caused by strength training or sports activity—it activates mitochondria production in cells so they can use their powerhouses better.

2) A sports massage therapist helps increase blood flow to the muscles, most importantly for athletes during competitions.

This brings warmth and flexibility to their bodies while also improving joint range of motion and lubrication.

Athletes who partake in massage therapy can also gain better circulation. This increased blood flow benefits them by allowing for more efficient and effective breathing, which heightens their stamina to perform at a higher capacity than before they engaged with the practice of massage therapy.

3) Athletes in all sports benefit from the increased flexibility that massage therapy can provide. With an advantage over their competitors, athletes will take it and increase fitness scores with every win they acquire during games or events.

Jiu-jitsu is a martial art that requires flexibility. Without the ability to stretch, you won’t be able to do certain moves or even use your body properly for grappling and groundwork which are essential components of Jiu-Jitsu training.

Massage therapy increases an athlete’s range of motion so they may perform better than other players on a given day without risk of injury. Many people play different types of sport such as basketball for example; where if you’re not able to move your arm up above shoulder level due to soreness – then there is no way you’ll be performing at 100%.

4) Massage helps people relax and focus for better sports performance.

Massage activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes relaxation and rest—one of its greatest benefits to athletes or not. According to Health & Fitness Magazine “that relaxed lowered-tension state encourages focus” say that this is a good thing before any sports competition where you need every advantage possible in order to do your best. The more relaxed you are, the better you will perform because it allows increased value on focusing without distractions unlike if one has anxiety about his/her upcoming match (pregame jitters).

5) Getting a massage from the right therapist helps athletes perform better in many ways.

A good sports masseuse can increase your range of motion, flexibility, and focus to help you achieve peak performance. By reducing pain and inflammation through gentle touch, it is easier for your mind-body connection to bring out the best version of yourself while minimizing risks for injuries during training or competition events. Lastly but not least importantly getting massaged after athletic activities will also make sure that all those lactic acids are flushed away properly so that one feels rejuvenated rather than sore post-workout/competition which would reduce chances of overtraining too soon!

Sports massage is a targeted approach that focuses on specific areas of the body in need. Athletes can also use sports massage for conditioning their bodies while recovering after competitions/events by taking less time off between sessions instead of waiting until an injury occurs before receiving one – making recovery faster than otherwise expected.
