For many people, a massage is one of the most beneficial things there is. It is also particularly good to be kneaded after sports, because it relaxes and loosens the stressed muscles. But usually only professional athletes get to enjoy a massage directly after training or competition; amateurs and hobby athletes are usually deprived of this. Because in fitness studios there is hardly an appropriate offer so far. Change this and offer your members the possibility of a massage! We present you a suitable solution for your studio!
What a massage after training brings
A massage after training offers many advantages: It loosens tensions, prevents strains, relieves pain and thus relaxes not only the muscles but also the trainee himself. In addition, inflammations are prevented and the regeneration of exhausted muscles is accelerated. This means you'll be fit for your next workout sooner!
But a massage is even more effective if you wait one to two hours after training. After the load the muscles remain anyway at least half an hour longer more supplied with blood than in the normal condition, why the effect of a massage is then smaller. Prof. Dr. Ingo Froböse, the head of the Center for Health at the German Sport University in Cologne, is of the opinion that strained muscles recover better if they are not massaged until an hour after training. Directly after the sport a massage rather supplies blood to the skin than to the muscles. But this is not a problem for your studio's own massage beds, because your members can shower and change in peace after their workout and then relax with a massage before they go home!
