Sports massage has a specific physical goal; to help prevent injury- or in the event of injury, to help heal it as part of an injury management program. It’s very different from a relaxing massage at a spa; it’s designed to reduce muscle tension, improve blood and nutrient flow, as well as waste product elimination.
Whether you’re a professional athlete or just a weekend warrior who enjoys a run, everyone will benefit from incorporating sports massage into their schedule and as part of their training regime on two levels; it will help prevent injury in the first place, and it will help you recover from the demands you’ve put on yourself.
