What Is a Sports Massage?

While any type of massage is beneficial, a sports massage is often specifically for people with sports injuries or who want to improve their performance. A sports massage therapist will focus on core areas that you exercise and use regularly during your sports training and games. These areas can include your soft tissues, muscles, tendons and ligaments.

Based on the scope and type of injury, as well as the condition your body is in, your sports massage therapist might include kneading, trigger point therapy, wringing or vibration. These all contribute and enhance blood circulation, as well as improve mobility or elasticity. Sports massages often target a specific area, such as where the injury occurred.
