Sports Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is a type of bodywork that involves using pressure to stimulate muscles and joints. There are many different types of massage therapies, including Swedish, deep tissue, trigger point, myofascial release, lymphatic drainage, reflexology, aromatherapy, and sports massage. 


Sports massage therapy is a specific type of massage therapy that focuses on the treatment of injuries and muscle soreness.


Whether you are a professional athlete or an active person, it is likely that you have experienced tightness and muscle soreness. You may even have an injury that is preventing your muscles from functioning at full capacity. The good news is that massage therapy can help relax the muscles, which improves blood flow and lessens the chance of experiencing further injury. Sports massage therapy is a specialty of massage therapy, but one that most people may not know about.
