It depends on your pain threshold and the extent of your injury and muscle stress. You’re likely to feel discomfort during and after your massage, but not to the degree that you start to tense up in order to take the pain. Your massage therapist should tailor their technique to work within your pain threshold.

Deep tissue massage tends to be a full body massage; a sports massage targets a specific area of the body that needs healing or relief.

A sports massage is focused on myofascial release – myo meaning muscle, fascial meaning fascia – the white connective tissue surrounding the muscle. It helps prevent and relieve injury caused by strenuous and repeated physical activity.

Sports massage reduces muscle soreness and DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness), improves flexibility and range of motion, speeds recovery between training sessions, prevents injury, breaks down scar tissue and adhesions, and enhances athletic performance when used regularly.

Both use firm pressure, but sports massage is specifically tailored to the demands of sport and exercise: incorporating stretching, pre-event preparation, and post-event recovery work. Deep tissue massage is a technique that may be used within a sports massage session.
