What Is A Sports Massage?

What is it?

For all of the athletes in your family, there is a massage option better geared for those who participate in sports. Sports Massage is a little different from Swedish massage because it is more focused on muscles that are used in the specific sport(s) the athlete plays. During a session, the therapist can focus on things like decrease muscle pain, improved recovery, and improved range of motion and flexibility. One of the reasons sports massage is so beneficial is because the therapist can take many different techniques to target many different muscles and muscle groups!
