Why Massage is good for Senior Golfers

Many Senior Golfers often experience soreness around the head and neck (sprains as a result of tightening up and hitting too hard) and in between the shoulder blades after a round of golf. Their hands, forearms, and rotator cuff muscles are usually tense, contracted, or inflamed from gripping and swinging the club. To get rid of these a good massage has many benefits and is great for pre and post events. It doesn't matter whether you are healthy or injured; you may benefit from quality massage therapy, be it from chair massager, foot massager or hand-held massager.

Apart from making you feel good; listed below are some of the many benefits of massage for golfers.

• Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.


• As most golfers are aware that tight muscles will affect the game, regular massage will help to elongate the muscles and improve your body's flexibility.


• When muscles become overworked, certain harmful waste products such as lactic acid may accumulate in the muscles and cause soreness. Massage therapy stimulates the muscles through direct pressure, improving circulation and thereby facilitating the elimination of these waste products.


• Improve blood flow circulation on the massaged areas.


• Able to reduce swelling and inflammation around and injured area.


• Massaging the muscles and soft tissues around a joint may help relax the joint and lead to overall relaxation.


• Massage helps relieve painful muscle spasms and cramping.


• Massage has also been shown to release hormones responsible for relaxation and euphoria.


• It's also darn nice to be pampered once in a while...
