If you are like most athletes, you want to heal naturally
from your injury and do so in record time without having to resort to
drugs or surgery. There is no greater way to accomplish this than by
employing transdermal medicine using magnesium chloride.
The last thing any trainer or sports doctor wants to see are
their athletes injured. Dr. Jeff Schutt says that hamstring injuries
can be avoided through nutritional support because contraction and
relaxation is dependent on adequate cellular levels of magnesium. “A
shortened hamstring is a result of lack of available magnesium,” he says.
Liquid magnesium chloride can be simply sprayed and rubbed into a
sore Achilles tendon to decrease swelling. And soaking the feet in a
magnesium chloride footbath is the single best thing – apart from
stretching – that you can do for yourself to protect from, or recover from
hamstring and other injuries.
Transdermal magnesium therapy offers an exciting
breakthrough in sports medicine. Coaches can now treat injuries, prevent
them, and increase athletic performance all at the same time. Transdermal
magnesium chloride mineral therapy enhances recovery from athletic
activity or injuries. It reduces pain and inflammation while propagating
quicker regeneration of tissues. Topical application of magnesium chloride
increases flexibility, which helps avoid injury. It also increases
strength and endurance. Transdermal Magnesium Therapy is a boon for
athletes, coaches and doctors who practice sports medicine.
Magnesium chloride, when applied directly
to the skin is transdermally absorbed and
has an almost
immediate effect on pain.
Transdermal magnesium therapy is ideal for pain
management, diabetic neuropathy and inflammation. The combination of heat
and magnesium chloride increases circulation and waste removal. The
therapeutic effect of magnesium baths is to draw inflammation out of the
muscles and joints. Dr. Linda Rapson, who specializes in treating
chronic pain, believes that about 70 per cent of her patients who complain
of muscle pain, cramps and fatigue are showing signs of magnesium
deficiency. "Virtually all of them improve when I put them on magnesium
therapy," says Rapson. "It may sound too good to be true, but it's a
fact."
Having ones massage therapist use the
Magnesium
oil is Nirvana for athletes.
Oral magnesium is not easily absorbed and at high
doses creates diarrhea. Thus oral magnesium offers little to
athletes but transdermal application opens up an entirely new universe to
athletes and their coaches and doctors who want to do everything to reduce
injuries, treat injuries effectively when they do occur and of course want
to increase performance. A whole new world of sports medicine is going to
explode onto the scene when athletes and coaches find out that magnesium
chloride from natural sources is available for topical use. Transdermal
magnesium chloride mineral therapy is ideal for athletes who need high
levels of magnesium. Magnesium provides a valuable lactic acid buffer for
the lactic acid produced by strenuous exercise. Only in the past
decade has the value of magnesium been realized for its buffering
capacity. Accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles can impair
performance, endurance, and cause athletes to “hit the wall.”
Magnesium will help prevent this.
Sports massage is for a pre-event rubdown or as a
post-event recovery to sooth the aches and pains caused by physical
exertion. A restorative or rehabilitative sports massage during training
helps you train harder or nurse a sports injury back to health. Imagine if
magnesium oil is used instead of massage oils how much more dramatic the
results will be. Massage has been used for thousands of years and in
recent decades has re-emerged as an accepted method to enhance the
physical, physiological and psychological well being of athletes.
Magnesium sports massage helps increase flexibility,
increase muscle tone and therefore reduce the risk of injury. Other
benefits are breakdown of scar tissue after injury, improved blood
circulation and increased oxygenation to the tissues which provides
general relaxation and stress reduction and improves sports performance.
Athletes recovering from injuries will find that magnesium massage speeds
up their return to competition so the managers, trainers and owners of
sports clubs will invest in the treatments. A magnesium massage
holds great potential to assist athletes to become better, rather than
merely normal.
Where minor injuries and lesions occur, due to
overexertion and/or overuse, magnesium massage can break them down quickly
and effectively. Magnesium sports massage can help prevent those niggling
injuries that so often get in the way of performance and achievement,
whether a person is an elite athlete or a once a week jogger.
A typical treatment of sports injuries includes
massage, gentle rhythmical movements (harmonics), and stretching,
articulatory and manipulative techniques. Emphasis is placed on
increasing the range of movement, decreasing muscle tension, and improving
circulation of the blood vessels and lymphatic system. The effect of this
is to decrease swelling and pain, thereby enhancing the body’s
self-healing process. |
