Self-Massage for Athletes
It has been found that highly trained athletes benefit greatly from the use of the deeply penetrating massage ball under the Yamunatm Body Rolling (BR) system. Often these people are stiff and inflexible, and have, or are prone, to injury. BR, done with a specially designed 7" ball, elongates and massages muscle and opens and flexes joints. It helps with pain relief, and can be targeted to hamstrings, calves, knees, quads, shoulder and back - any muscle or joint - that troubles a player. When combined with warm-up routines, it helps players to enter the game feeling mobile, energized and ready for peak performance. The system also enables the players to massage and heal themselves on their own time. This is, of course, less costly and more convenient than the alternative of a massage therapist. How Body Rolling Prevents Injury and Eases Pain
When a person experiences pain or discomfort due to sprain, muscle spasm or nerve impingement, there is a compression or restriction in a specific area of the body. In general, tightness, inflammation or nerve pain are accompanied by a lack of space. This will first manifest itself as muscle tightness. If the problem is not corrected, it moves to the next level: the muscle becomes so tight that it is easily pulled, or impinges on a nerve, as in sciatica. The key to prevention, and the first step in healing, is to maintain or restore the length of the involved muscles and the space within the joints. No matter how fit and well trained the athlete, by its very nature training overexerts and tightens muscles. Stretches are useful and important component of any training regime, but the deep tissues and related joints are minimally affected. Body Rolling reaches deeply affected areas, elongates muscles and opens joints beyond conventional stretches. BR's ability to provide deep tissue and joint massage, and elongate muscle, is unsurpassed, thereby preventing injury and promoting healing.
