A sports massage is designed to boost blood circulation, increase tissue elasticity, and reduce muscle tension. It can be used as part of a muscle warm-up before exercise or to prevent and relieve injuries caused by repeated physical activity. The massages were originally given to athletes but non-athletes can benefit from them, too.

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.

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.
