Sports massage is an effective form of treatment that involves techniques such as deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, functional massage, dry needling, myofascial cupping and active release techniques (A.R.T).

 

Sports massage can be approached from different angles. Generally it is used for sports people or people who exercise regularly. Pre and post game massage will be lighter and more of a warm up. When treating an injury, the massage techinques will be the same as Remedial massage. Sports massage can help you become less prone to injury by making muscles healthy and supple. Recovery time can also be improved so you don't spend days/weeks after your training in pain.
