hi I’m Veronica with watchmojo.com and
today we’re with the massage therapist
from X Fit to learn more about how a
massage can help your training so if
you’re an athlete is it beneficial to
get a massage well it can increase blood
flow and circulation can break down
muscle spasms so if there’s any pain or
tension it can try to break down those
problems as well it can help with
recovery and sleeping habits so you’ll
be ready to do a better workout the next
day also if your therapist knows Anatomy
well you can use it to better your
posture work more the tight muscles and
know where it’s weak and where it needs
to it needs to be strengthened one of
the things we can do for a therapeutic
massage is called an interosseous
release so there’s two bones in your
shin there’s a tibia and a fibula and
between the two there’s a nerve artery
and vein that run through there so to
help with the circulation we’re gonna
try to do a little bit of an uncorking
so I’m gonna try to put a little
pressure here and most bring these two
bones apart a little bit so this can
help with circulation of course from
your ankle which if you had a swollen
ankle or something like that would help
decrease the swelling also can help with
things like shin splints and relaxing
the muscles in the shins what’s the
difference between getting massaged
before a workout and afterwards before
game you’d want to have something a
little bit more vigorous trying to
increase blood flow and get ready for
the game whereas after the game probably
want something a little bit more
relaxing that can help with recovery
okay we’re gonna go from the back also
and try to display the two bones from
the back and work down week a so once
we’ve done the uncorking we’re then
gonna do an effleurage and try to return
some of this circulation back to the
heart
can you still get massage that if you’re
injured basic injuries straining or
spring you always want to increase the
blood flow to that place to take out the
swelling so that usually helps it’s good
to talk with the therapists as they’re
doing that massage so if you feel
something’s a little too firm say oh
that’s that’s too hard and if you feel
it’s a little too soft you can say oh
you can go a little harder so here’s
upper trapezius that they tend to be
tight muscles when you sit a lot of in
front of computer that’s where you tend
to get a lot of tightness so here I’m
applying a little bit pressure just sort
of release it if there would be
something with around the scapula which
you can see here you can just go in it
and sort of work all those little
muscles little scapula stabilizers just
sort of dig in there
