What is a Sports massage?

Full Body Massage

Sports massage is a form of massage involving the manipulation of soft tissue and is usually performed 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 covers the other soft tissues).

Sports massage primary function is to assist in correcting problems and imbalances in soft tissue that are caused from repetitive and strenuous physical activity and trauma. A sports massage after exercise, may enhance performance, aid recovery and prevent injury.

Generally, the massage is a lot firmer (deep tissue) than Aromatherapy or Swedish massage as it works primarily on the body’s soft tissues of muscles, tendons and fascia. Although it is generally of firmer pressure, all pressure used is carefully tailored to individual needs, requirements, preferences and tolerance levels!
