Sports massage is a form of massage involving the manipulation of soft tissue to benefit a person engaged in regular physical activity. Soft tissue is connective tissue that has not hardened into bone and cartilage; it includes skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia (a form of connective tissue that lines and ensheathes the other soft tissues). Sports massage is designed to assist in correcting problems and imbalances in soft tissue that are caused from repetitive and strenuous physical activity and trauma. The application of sports massage, prior to and after exercise, may enhance performance, aid recovery and prevent injury

A sports massage has many benefits for anyone doing regular exercise by -

Relaxing muscles

Fighting fatigue

Relieving any swelling around  joints

Boosting circulation and the immune system so that the body heals more quickly

Improving flexibility and body strength

Reducing heart rate and blood pressure

Increasing circulation and lymph flow

Supporting quicker recovery after strenuous exercise

Making it less likely to sustain injuries by relieving tension in the muscles

Your sports massage, depending on your needs, may incorporate some or all of the following. I may also suggest supporting modalities and home exercises if needed. - Deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, hot stone therapy, advanced sports stretching,
