Sports Massage

Designed to prevent and treat injuries, improve flexibility, and enhance athletic performance, sport massage can be used by athletes of all abilities to prepare for or recover from athletic or sports events.

Even if you aren't an athlete, sports massage may help muscle pain or restricted range of motion.

The idea behind sports massage is to manipulate the body's soft tissues, and focus on certain muscle groups depending on which sport the athlete plays.  This type of massage can help with increased blood flow, increased range of motion, and increased flexibility. 

In sports massage, the strokes are generally faster than a typical Swedish massage.  The therapist may also include compression, pressure point therapy, friction, and joint mobilisation.
