How Massage Therapy works for boxers

Boxer’s train hard.  They push their muscles to the limit, and can over-do it.  Most don’t do it purposely, but strains and pain are common when they’re focused on attaining that next level of athletic superiority, and sometimes allow the body’s warning signs to be ignored.  Upon over exertion, the first tendency is to rest, though this might not be the most effective way to recover from a workout.  Athletes at a competitive level depend on the ability to recover from these sessions quickly.

Boxer’s, like any elite athlete, benefit by adding sports massage to their training regimen for increasing recovery time.  Athletes report that sports massage helps them train more effectively, improves performance, prevents injuries, and shortens recovery time.

Here’s an interesting history of boxing and the story of a massage therapist’s work with a professional boxer who sought her help for his pains from a career in the sport.
