What to Expect
When you go for an Indian head massage, you can expect a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience. The session typically begins with you sitting comfortably while the therapist uses a combination of gentle and firm movements to massage your scalp, neck, shoulders, and upper back.
Before Sports Massage
A pre-event sports massage is designed to prepare the body for physical activity by increasing circulation, reducing muscle stiffness, and enhancing flexibility. Performed 15-45 minutes before activity to stimulate muscles. This helps:
- Uses fast, rhythmic, and dynamic techniques to increase blood flow.
- Focuses on warming up muscles and reducing stiffness.
- Helps prevent injuries by improving mobility and tissue elasticity.
- Involves light stretching and mobilization techniques to activate the muscles.
After Sports Massage
You may feel a warming sensation as stress melts away, and some people experience a deep sense of relaxation or even lightheadedness afterward. The treatment can also help relieve headaches, reduce muscle stiffness, and improve overall well-being.
- Flush out metabolic waste (e.g., lactic acid) and reduce inflammation.
- Incorporates gentle stretching to promote flexibility and ease muscle tightness.
- Aids in reducing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and speeds up recovery.
- Alleviates muscle fatigue, cramps, and stiffness.
