INTRODUCTION
MASSAGE IS THE SYSTEMATIC,
MECHANICAL STIMULATION OF THE
SOFT TISSUES OF THE BODY BY
MEANS OF RHYTHMICALLY APPLIED
PRESSURE AND STRETCHING FOR
THERAPEUTIC PURPOSES

INTRODUCTION
SPORT MASSAGE IS USED: BEFORE
DURING
AFTER
ATHELETIC EVENTS

THE PURPOSE OF MASSAGE

TO PREVENT INJURIES
TO RELIEVE SWELLING
TO DRAIN ANY FATIQUE
TO PROMOTE FLEXIBILITY
PREPARE THE ATHELETE FOR PEAK PERFORMANCE
PROVIDES A WARM-UP TO LOOSEN MUSCLES PRE EVENT
TO REDUCE MUSCLE TENSION AND INFLAMMATION POST EVENT

MASSAGE HAS NO EFFECT ON

OBESITY
MUSCLE MASS
MUSCLE STRENGTH

TYPES OF MASSAGE
THAI MASSAGE
TUI NA MASSAGE
SPORTS MASSAGE
SHIATSU MASSAGE
AQUATIC MASSAGE
SWEDISH MASSAGE
TRIGGER POINT MASSAGE

SPORT MASSAGE

SPORT MASSAGE TECHNIQUES ARE QUITE SIMILAR TO

SWEDISH MASSAGE

HOW IS SPORTS MASSAGE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER TYPES

OF THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE?

-IN SPORTS MASSAGE THE THERAPIST MAY APPLY THE

TECHNIQUES MORE FIRMLY & DEEPER THAN A GENERAL
MASSAGE THERAPIST MIGHT
-USE MORE FRICTIONS TO BREAK DOWN ADHESIONS &
SOFTEN SCAR TISSUES
-ARE DESIGNED TO REDUCE INJURY

TECHNIQUES OF SPORTS
MASSAGE

EFFLEURAGE
LIGHT GLIDING STROKES
OVER SKIN WITHOUT MOVING
DEEP MUSCLE MASSES USED
FOR MUSCLE RELAXATION

PETRISSAGE
KNEADING MANIPULATION
THAT INTERMITTENTLY
LIFT,PRESS & ROLL THE
MUSCLES UNDER THE
FINGERS OR HANDS.
USED FOR INCREASING
CIRCULATION AND REDUCING
EDEMA

TECHNIQUES OF SPORTS
MASSAGE
PERCUSSION (TAPOTMENT)
- SERIES OF ALTERNATING BLOWS S/A
HACKING,
SLAPPING,
BEATING,
PINCHING,
TAPPING WITH FINGER TIPS,
CUPPING,
CLAPPING,
- USED TO STIMULATE CIRCULATION & DESENSITIZED
OPERATED SITES.

TECHNIQUES OF SPORTS
MASSAGE
FRICTIONCIRCULAR
MOTION OF THE THERAPISTS
FINGERTIPS WITH PRESSURE
APPLIED SO THAT THE
THERAPISTS FINGERS AND
PATIENTS SKIN MOVE AS ONE.
IT IS USED TO LOOSEN OR BREAK
UP UNDERLYING ADHESIONS OF
HEALED SCAR TISSUES

MASSAGE
VIBRATION
FINE TREMULOUS
MOVEMENT MADE
BY HANDS OR
FINGERS TO CAUSE
THE PART TO
VIBRATE

INJURY MANAGEMENT
THROUGH SPORT MASSAGE

ATHELETES ALWAYS OVERUSE THEIR MUSCLES, CAUSING

STRAIN
TEARS
IMBALANCES IN THE SOFT MUSCLES TISSUES

THE MORE INJURY IS IGNORED

INJURY MANAGEMENT
THROUGH SPORT MASSAGE

ONE WAY TO ENCOURAGE MUSCLE REPAIR AFTER TRAINING

IS WITH SPORTS MASSAGE.

SPORTS MASSAGE WILL HELP RELEASE ANY BUILT UP

TENSION AND LACTIC ACID IN THE OVERWORKED MUSCLES
SO THAT BLOOD AND OXYGEN CAN RETURN TO THE
MUSCLE AND EFFECTIVELY PROMOTE MUSCLE REPAIR.

SPORTS MASSAGE IF RECEIVED AS PARTS OF A SPORTS

PROGRAMME, CAN HELP AN ATHELETE PREVENT INJURY
DUE TO OVERUSE

PRE-EVENT MASSAGE
USUALLY BRIEF AND INVIGORATING
(sekejap & menyegarkan)

LASTING 15-20 MINUTES

IT IS GIVEN WITHIN AN HOUR BEFORE
THE SPORTING EVENT

POST-EVENT MASSAGE

SHOULD BE CALMING AND RELAXING

ITS GOAL IS:TO REDUCE INFLAMMATION.

TO RELIEVE MUSCLES PAIN BY DECREASING TENSION
TO RELIEVE MUSCLE SORENESS BY DISPENSING LACTIC
ACID

MASSAGE SHOULD LAST NO MORE THAN 20 MINUTES.

MASSAGE PROCEDURES

MASSAGE TECHNIQUES MUST BE CARRIED OUT IN SEQUENCE.

BEGINS WITH:-

1)EFFLEURAGE>
2)PETRISSAGE>
3)CIRCULAR FRICTION/MUSCLE STRIPPING>
4)TRIGGER POINTS>
5)FINISHING OFF WITH EFFLEURAGE

MASSAGE PROCEDURES
1) WASH HANDS
2) GIVE UNDIVIDED ATTENTION
3)SHOULD NOT UNLOAD YOUR OWN PERSONAL PROBLEMS ON
ATHELETE
4)MAKE YOUR DECISIONS
5)WEAR UNIFORM
6)MASSAGE THERAPIST SHOULD OBEY REFERERS
INSTRUCTIONS
7)RECORD YOUR TREATMENT

BENEFITS & EFFECTS OF MASSAGE

PHYSICAL EFFECTS
- PUMPING

BLOOD

-INCREASED TISSUE PERMEABILITY BY OPENING THE TISSUE

PORES
-STRETCH TISSUES AND FASCIA
-BREAK DOWN SCAR TISSUES
-IMPROVE TISSUE ELASTICITY BY STRETCHING THE HARD AND
INELASTIC TISSUES
-OPENS MICRO-CIRCULATION

BENEFITS & EFFECTS OF

MASSAGE
PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS
- PAIN REDUCTION BY RELEASING THE BODIES ENDORPHINS
- RELAXATION MUSCLE RELAX THROUGH
HEAT GENERATED,CIRCULATION AND STRETCHING.
-MECHANORECEPTORS WHICH SENSE TOUCH, PRESSURE,
TISSUE LENGTH AND WARMTH ARE STIMULATED,CAUSING A
REFLEX RELAXATION.

BENEFITS & EFFECTS OF

MASSAGE
PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS
1.ANXIETY REDUCTION
THROUGH THE EFFECTS MENTIONED ABOVE RELAXATION IS
INDUCED AND SO REDUCES ANXIETY LEVELS
2.INVIGORATING
IF MASSAGE IS DONE WITH BRISK MOVEMENTS

CONTRAINDICATIONS
GOUT
BURNS
BURSITIS
CONTUSIONS
OPEN WOUNDS

MUSCLE RUPTURES
TENDON RUPTURES
INFECTIONS OF THE SKIN AND SOFT TISSUES
