Curious about sports massage? 🤔 Let’s dive into the answer to a question I get all the time: What exactly is sports massage?
Sports massage is remedial massage therapy specifically designed for athletes and individuals engaged in regular physical activity. It focuses on addressing the unique needs of athletes, such as improving performance, preventing injuries, and aiding in recovery after intense workouts or competitions.
Sports massage techniques may vary, but they often involve a combination of deep tissue massage, stretching, and manipulation of soft tissues. The massage therapist may target specific muscle groups that are commonly used in a particular sport or activity to help alleviate tension, improve flexibility, and enhance circulation.
Overall, sports massage aims to optimise athletic performance, promote faster recovery from workouts or injuries, and prevent or treat sports-related injuries. It can be beneficial for athletes of all levels, from recreational enthusiasts to professional competitors.
