Jim Dyson Massage

Some think of sports massage as just massaging an athlete. But it can be much more. Jim massages   an athlete's muscles to their optimum level. "How?" you may ask. In massage philosophy, muscles should be soft when they are not contracted because then they have better circulation. Better circulation equals more oxygen to the muscle cells, better cellular waste removal, and faster, longer performance before they fatigue. They also recover faster and have less pain after extreme workouts. How can you loose?

But there is much more. Only half of muscle motion is  contracting the other half is  relaxing and stretching. Tight muscles have more resistance to stretching. This causes more work to move translating to wasted energy and slower motion. Sometimes an inch makes the difference between first and third place. That is the difference a skilled therapist can give a great athlete. No athlete wants to waste energy while in competition.

If that is not enough to sell you on sports massage think of this.  A highly skilled sports therapist knows the neural pathways to each muscle and how they can be restricted by tight and imbalanced muscles.  He massages the muscles in ways to open restrictions in neural pathways making the connections between the athlete's brain and his/her muscles more efficient. Muscles are ready to respond with lightning speed. Think faster, move faster, recover faster with quality Sports Massage.

Sports massage brings a different attitude to the massage table. It is about enabling muscles to perform at their peak condition . It is about increasing their peak condition by increasing their overall health and ability. It is about tuning  the body the athlete already has.

Other people beside athletes  need sports type massage for example:  a musical conductor who conducts with his arms up for hours at a time, a dancer who is performing dancing movements at practice for days to perform for a few hours, a violinist who plays  hours each day. Many people can benefit from sports type massage.
