Even if you concentrate on conditioning, sports injuries happen. Apply ice to any strain or sprain during the first 72 hours, then switch to a moist heating pad. Nonprescription medicine can help control pain and a good sports massage can help as well.
Massage therapy is also a great help for sports injuries. Request a therapist experienced in sports massage, and ask that special attention be paid to any injured areas, says Lance O’Pry, Dallas/Fort Worth Regional Developer for Massage Envy. “A massage therapist can stretch the muscles in trouble areas, promoting increased flexibility when the body is warm and more elastic.”
Massage therapy helps bring blood and nutrients to the affected area to repair the soft tissue. Ideally, get a massage as soon as you can tolerate it. Massage also can help break up scar tissue and keep the muscles supple so less scar tissue develops.
Even when there’s no injury, massage also helps athletes of all levels improve their flexibility and muscle suppleness. The kneading action of a massage disperses the accumulation of lactic acid, which causes fatigued, sore muscles.
