There are four main types of sports massage: Pre-event – given 15-45 minutes before an activity, a pre-event sports massage focuses on the areas of your body that are most likely to be exerted during the activity. Post-event – given up to two hours after an activity to help it help myofascial release. Restorative – aims to prevent injury and enable intensive training in the lead-up to an sports event you are training for. Rehabilitative – aims to reduce tissue inflammation following an injury.

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.

Sports massage is a specialised form of massage therapy designed for athletes and active individuals. It uses a range of techniques: including deep tissue work, stretching, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release, to prepare the body for activity, aid recovery, and treat sports-related injuries.

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.
