Do you train? You're probably forgetting something important!
Physical activity is becoming increasingly popular and is a fantastic trend for our health. However, we often forget about something that is extremely important for our body during physical exertion and, what's more, can make this effort more effective.
During training, muscles tense up, the circulatory system works harder, and so does the respiratory system. All of this has its good and bad sides. The benefits are obvious. Muscles exercise and become stronger and more enduring. Our fitness, bone density, and overall health improve.
Let's focus on muscles. The ideal situation is when muscles alternately tense and relax during training. However, this relaxation is usually not as rosy as it might seem. The lack of proper relaxation first causes poorer blood flow in the tense area. This, in turn, leads to worse oxygenation of the muscle and poorer removal of metabolic by-products from the cells. Such a condition chronically can lead to tension, pain, and even injury.
From the experience of our specialists, it appears that people who train, especially at the beginning of their journey, tend to completely underestimate the importance of muscle relaxation. We often realize the seriousness of the situation only when the pain interferes with our daily functioning. However, this can be prevented.
An ideal solution for people who train is sports massage. It is also worth remembering about rolling and moments of relaxation.
Such a massage is always individually tailored to the patient's needs. It allows you to relax tense muscles and increase joint mobility. All of this has a very positive impact on the course of training itself, which becomes more efficient, and as a result, sports performance improves.
It is important to entrust your muscles to experienced professionals. Then we can be sure that the treatment will have the best effect. At Ambasada Urody, all treatments are performed by top-class specialists.

Regeneration, Preparation for Exercise, and Injury Prevention
Sports massage is an indispensable part of biological renewal and an integral aspect of sports preparation. Used before, during, and after physical exertion, it helps prevent the effects of intense training loads, supports the body's regeneration, and minimizes the risk of injuries. Its main goal is to maintain optimal physical condition, improve muscle endurance, and accelerate the regeneration processes after intense exercise. This type of massage can be used as a complement to warm-up routines, preparing the musculoskeletal system for vigorous exercise and reducing the risk of injuries. After training, it has a relaxing effect, reducing muscle tension, improving circulation, and supporting faster tissue recovery.
Effects of Sports Massage:
- Preparing Muscles for Exercise - increases muscle flexibility and improves their readiness for intense loads, reducing the risk of injuries.
- Accelerating Recovery After Training - improves blood circulation and supports the transport of nutrients to the muscles, speeding up their recovery after exercise.
- Reducing Tension and Muscle Pain - helps eliminate lactic acid build-up and alleviates strains resulting from intense training.
- Improving Blood and Lymph Circulation - supports better oxygenation of muscles and the removal of metabolic waste products, which affects overall body efficiency.
- Minimizing the Risk of Injuries - by loosening and preparing the musculoskeletal system, it reduces susceptibility to injuries, tears, and strains.
- Increasing Mobility and Range of Motion - influences the improvement of muscle and joint flexibility and efficiency, which is crucial for achieving better sports performance.
- Support for the Nervous System - stimulates the body for action or promotes relaxation, depending on the training phase and the types of techniques used.
Sports massage is an essential component of maintaining physical fitness for both professional athletes and physically active individuals looking to optimize their training and take care of the health of their muscles and joints.
