What Is Sports Massage Therapy?
Sports massage is a specialist form of soft-tissue treatment focused on the muscles, fascia, and connective tissues of the body. It aims to reduce tension, improve flexibility, support recovery, and enhance movement.
Treatment may include a combination of:
- Sports massage techniques
- Deep tissue massage
- Therapeutic soft-tissue work
- Trigger point techniques
- Stretching and mobility-based approaches
Sports massage can be used both therapeutically and for relaxation, even if you do not have a specific injury.
