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.

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.
