Analysis of the effectiveness of massage therapy for sports injuries
Introduction: The Relationship Between Sports Injuries and Massage Therapy
Sports challenges the physical limits of human beings, sometimes carrying the risk of serious injury. Injuries experienced by athletes can be broadly categorized as acute and chronic. Acute injuries are caused by sudden trauma, typically muscle sprains, ligament ruptures, and fractures. Chronic injuries, on the other hand, are caused by repetitive stress and overuse over a long period of time, including joint pain, stress fractures, and muscle imbalances.
