SRMT can improve posture by releasing the tension in tight muscles and establishing any under/overactive muscle groups. Identifying muscle imbalances can help to prevent injuries by using such techniques as MET to reduce tension in overactive muscle groups and increasing the tone in underactive muscles. Reducing muscle imbalance can help to improve performance by creating a more efficient agonist/antagonist relationship within the muscle.
Adhesions within muscle tissue can be detrimental to performance as they may reduce the function of the muscle tissue. Massage using techniques such as STR and friction can help to remove adhesions and therefore increase performance outcomes.
SRMT has many benefits such as:
- increased recovery
- reduced muscle tension
- increased flexibility
- reduced muscle soreness
- increased performance
- reduction in scar tissue/fibrous tissue
- relaxed state of mind
- increase muscle growth
- improved posture
