Massage for Winter Sports Preparation and Recovery

Massage for Winter Sports Preparation and Recovery

• Getting Ready for winter Sports

• As Winter kicks into full gear, here in Colorado,
  droves of people will be hauling their skis,
  snowboards, snowshoes, and other equipment up and
  down the mountain to shred some powder and blast
  down the slopes. But what many people may not
  take into consideration when they go skiing,
  especially if its for a single sporadic stay
  rather than a weekly occurrence, is seeking the
  toll it will take on their body.

• For many Winter sports enthusiasts, the thrill of
  the slopes comes at a price sore muscles, and
  various aches and pains. This is particularly
  true if you visit for a week at a time, only once
  or twice per season. Long an infrequent trips
  like this are especially stressful on the
  musculature, because the body hasnt adjusted
  with regular activity of this kind. While some
  may choose to simply bite through the pain, what
  many dont realize is that much of this soreness
  can actually be prevented, and recovered from
  more quickly, using the amazing benefits of
  massage.
• Massage for Winter sports can be categorized into
  preparatory massage for before your trip up the
  mountain, and recovery massage, for after.
  Additionally, if youre staying for an extended
  period such as a week, you can get recovery
  massage in-between sessions however, massage at
  ski resorts is often quite expensive, and may not
  be an affordable option for many.

• For your Preparatory massage, typically you will
  sign up for general, Therapeutic Massage, while
  of course notifying your masseuse that you are
  specifically preparing for a Winter sports trip.
  They may have you go through a set of movement
  tests, to see if there are any areas that are
  particularly stiff. Then, the masseuse will spend
  the majority of the time, or maybe even all of
  it, going over the areas that will be stressed
  the most by your trip, usually the legs, hips,
  and sometimes lower back. You will leave your
  massage facility feeling refreshed, and you will
  be more nimble and take longer to get sore, once
  on the mountain.
• I hope that this post has been helpful, and that
  you will consider taking care of your body before
  and after your Winter sports this season, with
  some gentle and relaxing massage. Fun doesnt
  always have to come at such a price, and with the
  right preparation and recovery, you can have even
  more fun without the dread of soreness later.
