Sports massage is an effective technique used before and/or after athletic activity. Pre-event massage helps warm the muscles, increase circulation, and increase flexibility. This can help the athlete perform at a maximum level and reduce injuries. Post-event massage helps reduce muscle tightness and soreness, reduce cramping, and reduce swelling. It also increases circulation, which helps the body to restore and rejuvenate itself after activity.

Sports Massage generally uses faster strokes than traditional Swedish or Deep Tissue Massage to warm the muscles before activity or relax them afterwards. Sports Massage can be used by athletes and non-athletes alike before engaging in activities that use your muscles in a more aggressive way than your normal daily regimen, regardless of whether you are an active athlete or a once a week exerciser.

Sports Massage may combine a variety of different massage therapies. It is always customized to meet the individual's specific needs and muscle groups in need of attention.
