What is Sports massage?
Sports massage is a form of massage that aims to ease problems in the soft tissues of the body (the muscles, fascia, tendons and ligaments). Repetitive and strenuous activity can cause imbalances in the soft tissues that can lead to injury. Massage of the soft tissues prior and after exercise aims to release muscle tension and pain, removed waste products from the tissues such as acetic acid and carbon dioxide, reduced discomfort from DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) post exercise and improve posture and flexibility.
​
Although developed for athletes, sports massage can be used to help anyone who is suffering from muscle pain from sedentary office workers who sit for long periods to manual workers who are aching at the end of a hard day.
