Elite sports performance is linked to many things, but one of the most important is recovery. Sports recovery, specifically sports massages, date back to the early 1800s and have advanced significantly since then. Recovery has been emphasized as an important component to enhancing training and improving sports performance. More recently, next-gen percussive massage therapy has been introduced which is revolutionizing the way athletes recover. Studies have shown that proper warm up and recovery from percussion devices and massage guns can support range of motion, reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, and aid in alleviating soreness. This is why your pre and post practice recovery routine is paramount in the sport of swimming. Whether that's a specific warm or relaxation massage post race, all activities are a must in order to reach your full potential in the water. It's proven that warming up your muscles before your race or workout improves range of motion, mobility, flexibility, circulation and reduces swelling. That is why incorporating percussive massage therapy into your daily routine will better prepare your muscles for swimming, whether at a meet or in practice. Each Theragun and Wave device has a different benefit and is suited for every individual style of training in the pool. Here's a quick overview on the Theragun line-up available at SwimOutlet.
