Sports Massage is a special form of massage and is typically used before,
during, and after athletic events.
The main purpose of sports massage therapy is to help alleviate the stress
and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissues during physical
activity. Where minor injuries and lesions occur, due to overexertion and/or
overuse, massage can break them down quickly and effectively.
The massage will help prepare the athlete for peak performance, to drain
away fatigue, to relieve swelling, to reduce muscle tension, to promote
flexibility and to prevent injuries. Sports massage can help prevent those
niggling injuries that so often get in the way of performance and
achievement, whether a person is an athlete or a once a week jogger.
