Contrary to the name you don’t have to be sports man or women to benefit from sports massage.


Sports massage or deep tissue massage emphasizes prevention and healing of injuries to the muscles and tendons.

It is a type of advanced Swedish massage that stimulates circulation of blood and lymph fluids, using massage movements to trigger points to break down adhesions (knots in the muscles) and increase range of motion.

The four types of sports massages:

Pre­-event sports massage

Directed specifically toward parts of the body that will be exerted

Post­-event sports massage

Given within an hour or two of the event, to normalize the body’s tissues

Restorative sports massage

Given during training to allow the individual to train harder and prevent injury

Rehabilitative sports massage

Aimed at alleviating pain due to injury and returning the body to health
