Soccer is a rough sport and soccer players are some of the toughest, yet stoic and stubborn athletes out there!  Sometimes it’s a guessing game to know if a soccer player is hurting, because they won’t say anything out loud.

Massage for Soccer is a Sports Massage using specific techniques to support the bruises and injuries of soccer players.

The normal soccer game includes bruises on the ankles, shins, feet and hips, and this is business as usual for any player.  

These bruises can start to layer and become serious problems.  This is above and beyond the normal wear and tear of running, jumping and changing directions over and over.  

Regular Massage is a great way to keep the body performing at its best for a long time. Massage can prevent recurring injuries from becoming career ending.

In addition, massage for soccer players can correct posture-changing-injuries which the player may or may not have be aware that they have. Regular massage for soccer players can improve their game. Please make regular massage sessions part of your soccer training schedule.

Why Should I Get a Massage for Soccer?

A massage for Soccer is right for you if you have leg, foot, hip, back pain after playing soccer.  

Soccer is a rough sport, even in the practices, and the same muscles and areas of the body tend to get injured in most players.

The legs, shins, feet and calves are some obvious places where soccer players feel tightness.  The shins and ankles are bruised from being kicked or hit, and pains show up in the lower legs and feet from changing directions quickly. 

Often in soccer injuries, back pain is what the players complain about. Taking shots or long kicks is a major part causing back pain in soccer players.

After a long practice of corner kicks, goal kicks, free kicks, or a day of shooting drills, players will complain about their backs hurting. This back pain can be helped with stretching, lengthening and massaging the hamstring muscles, as well as the back muscles.

The front muscles in the stomach being tight are also common which can cause back pain complaints in soccer players after much shooting practice or long kicks.

These front stomach muscles, like the psoas and abdominal muscles can be massaged and stretched to help the soccer player have pain free playing including faster bursts of speed, more accurate passes and shots, more powerful shots, passes, chips and free kicks.

Massage for Soccer addresses all of these areas and soothes the bruises and the tightness from intense running and kicking.  

Soccer Coach Should Pay Attenetion

Like with any sport or activity, if soccer injuries go untreated, the player is setting themselves up for chronic and possibly career ending injuries.

Soccer players happen to be some of the most stoic and stubborn athletes in the world, staying “tough”, and not stopping when they are injured.  They also don’t mention when they are feeling pain, or report to coaches any issues they are having that might prevent them from playing.  

Soccer players would rather play hurt than not play at all.

When the soccer player does not complain, but is in pain, preventative maintenance by the coach is essential.  The coaches are not mind readers, but they can put dynamic warm-ups, warm-downs and sports massage in place to keep all players moving better.

Encouraging massage at least weekly if not more often is a great plan.  There are so many massage therapists who could come to fields and help before, during and after practices and games, that it should be easy to hire a sports massage therapist.

It is worth the investment.

If you are not on a team who can afford to provide massage for you, then please look for one near you.  Don’t see this as a luxury but ESSENTIAL for the LONGEVITY of your ability to perform your sport at your peak.
