Can Sports Massage Therapy Be the Answer to Your Back Pain?

Nagging back pain is one of the most frustrating issues that sports-enthusiasts are affected by. It not only results in discomfort and restrictions in mobility but in extreme cases, it can cut short someone’s’ sporting pursuits. You just have to think of well-known cricketers, tennis, rugby & soccer players who have retired from back injuries.

If you want to enjoy your sports, it is imperative to consult with the best professional therapist possible for some high-quality sports massage. The practitioner will take into account the specific condition the person is suffering and will conduct an appropriate massage. Our sports massage therapist in our Sydney clinic will take this approach.

What Happens During Sports Massage?

Massage of quadratus lumborum muscle

One of the muscles that are responsible for back pain is the quadratus lumborum. It extends all throughout the lower and provides essential structure, support and protection to that region. It is actually an extensor muscle which allows a person to bend backwards. It also helps to bend the torso sideways. This muscle can become stiff and fatigued, stained or injured due to prolonged sporting activities. When that happens, movement becomes restricted and this may result in excruciating pain. Our sports massage conducted by therapists in our Sydney Clinic will address this issue and help release this muscle, helping to alleviate the pain.

Massage of Gluteus medius muscle

The Gluteus medius muscle, on the other hand, is the posterior hip or buttock muscle. This muscle plays the role of a hip abductor, which allows a person to lift the leg and thigh sideways during sporting activities. This muscle also plays an important role to keep the hips level when someone stands on one leg. When this muscle suffers repetitive trauma during sporting activities, it leads to stiffness and pain in the lower back portion. Again, this is something addressed by the sports massage therapy in our Sydney Clinic and this can help to address any pain and discomfort.

Enjoy The Benefits

  • Increased blood circulation and flexibility

All these make sports massage therapy an indispensable part in the life of a sportsperson whether recreational or semi-professional or professional.
