Sports massage is typically used before, during, and after athletic
events. Each massage is designed according to the sport the athlete plays because different muscles groups are used in each
sport. Depending on the needs of the athlete, a variety of techniques are used. In general Sports massage involves a blend
of Swedish, Deep Tissue and Thai Yoga massage (stretching) techniques.
Sports massage helps prepare the athlete
for peak performance, drain away fatigue, relieve swelling, reduce muscle tension, and promote flexibility through stretching.
Sports massage can help prevent injuries that so often get in the way of performance, whether a person is an athlete or a
once-a-week jogger. Where minor injuries and lesions do occur, due to overexertion and/or overuse, Sports massage can break
them down quickly and reduce recovery time.
