SPORTS MASSAGE IN BERN
The main aims of this type of massage are to prevent sports injuries and promote rapid recovery of the body after sporting activity.
Various massage strokes intensify blood circulation in the muscles, allowing more oxygen to reach the muscles and activating the muscle metabolism. In addition, metabolic breakdown products are removed more efficiently and quickly, which leads to an increase in muscle strength and endurance. This can optimize athletic performance and reduce the risk of injury.

What are the effects of sports massage before and after training?
Preventive massage before exercise can reduce the risk of inflammation and injury during sporting activity. This is particularly important if the training has not adequately prepared the body for the upcoming exertion. In such situations, a sports massage can significantly reduce the risk of injury.The massage before sport serves as a kind of warm-up exercise for the body to prepare the muscles for the physical activity ahead.Similar to a conventional warm-up, this makes the body less susceptible to injury.
After intense physical exertion, this therapy can help speed up the recovery of the body and muscles, prevent muscle tension and help to remove lactate (lactic acid) and other cellular waste products more efficiently. The massage loosens hardening and tension and helps the body to quickly regain its performance capacity.
For which complaints can the sports massage help?
Not only professional athletes benefit from a sports massage. This treatment method is also highly recommended for amateur athletes. The benefits can generally be found in upcoming sporting challenges, such as a marathon, competition or a long bike ride. Depending on the type of sport you are aiming for, the massage can be carried out on an individual basis. For example, if fast and short muscle contractions are required (e.g. sprinting), the muscle tone is increased during the treatment. On the other hand, muscle tone is reduced during long runs.
Especially athletes who have a very one-sided body load in their sport and whose body is accordingly stressed differently, a sports massage can also help to achieve more relaxation for the psyche.
What is the process of a sports massage at Origin Bern?
At the beginning of the treatment session, you and your treating therapist will have an initial anamnesis where you will discuss all the important information about your state of health. This conversation usually lasts 5 – 20 minutes and you will discuss exactly what the aim of the treatment is.
You will then have the opportunity to undress undisturbed and lie down on the couch.
As discussed in advance, the treatment will be carried out according to your wishes and needs, and the therapist will listen to your questions or comments at all times.
Finally, further follow-up appointments can be arranged if desired.
How often to perform a sports massage?
There are no precise guidelines as to how often you should go for a sports massage. Initially, you are free to decide according to your needs, but you can discuss with your therapist which time slots make sense.
Regular treatment is particularly useful if you want to improve your general performance and prevent muscle tension.
In other cases, a massage is advisable before and after a particular sporting challenge.
