Sports massage is a type of therapeutic massage that focuses on the specific needs of athletes and active individuals. It combines techniques from traditional Swedish and deep tissue massages with specialized stretching, compression, friction, joint mobilization and other methods to help reduce muscle tension and improve performance. By providing relief from muscle pain caused by overuse or injury, sports massage can also help prevent future injuries while aiding in recovery after an injury has occurred.
For athletes participating in any sport or activity at a high level, regular sports massages are essential for maintaining peak physical condition as well as preventing potential injuries due to overuse or strain on muscles during training sessions. Sports massages can be used before events to warm up muscles prior to competition as well as afterwards for post-event recovery purposes such as reducing inflammation caused by exercise-induced lactic acid build up in the body’s tissues.
