By Michael Pritsker


When training for mixed martial arts, the side effects that come with it are muscle soreness and, most often, damage. The way you decide to cope with the damages done to your body is up to you. During a fight whether you're put in an arm bar, or putting your opponent in to an arm bar, the damage that may occur to your body is inevitable.

Despite spending large amounts of time to warm up and stretch out muscles in your body, the chances of experiencing stiffness in your body will happy every now and then. The way you handle and deal with the pain is important since it may be the start of a much more serious injury and, or, may inhibit improvement and performance during training sessions. The use of therapeutic massage is only one of the many possibilities and ways of helping your body cope with the pain that is associated to your muscles. Happy Head Massage located in San Diego offers a variety of massages that all help to sooth soreness.

Massage therapy is a great treatment to assist in a mixed martial artists rehab plan. Massage can be used to break up scar tissue that has formed in the area of injury. If left untreated, scar tissue can worsen. Mixed martial artists can find their bodies under a lot of stress for a variety of reasons. Massage is another way to help deal with those stresses. Some of the many benefits of massage therapy for MMA fighters include reduction in back pain, improved flexibility, faster recovery and more.

Apart from technique and strategy which are very important in MMA, understanding your physical readiness is important as well. Your physical body plays a major role during a fight, and training session. Understanding your readiness determines the outcome of your bouts. Some simply lose matches, not because they are not mental prepared or do not have the "heart." Some lose because their bodies fail to perform adequately at the high level that they are trying to push for. To help MMA fighters bodies perform at their best it is important to take care of their bodies, and one way is through massage therapy.

To put it in layman's terms, the body is composed of soft-tissue which includes the muscles and hard tissues which includes the bones. The bones are brought into the position where they need to be when the muscles actively short and lengthen. MMA footwork, strikes, escapes and so on all depend on the function of the muscles and flexibility of soft tissues. Making sure your body is in tip top shape is important when wanting to perform at such high intensity.

Massage is a great way to not only feeling better, but to also function better. Happy Head Foot Reflexology and Massage in San Diego offers massage regularly to mixed martial arts fighters.
