What Is Sports Massage?
Sports massage is a targeted therapeutic massage technique specifically designed for athletes and active individuals. Unlike relaxation massage, sports massage addresses specific muscle groups, trigger points, and fascial restrictions that affect athletic performance and injury risk.
Evidence-Based Benefits
- Reduces delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after intense training
- Improves muscle flexibility and joint range of motion
- Reduces muscle tension and trigger point activity
- Improves local blood flow and metabolic waste removal
- Psychological relaxation benefits that improve recovery quality
Types of Sports Massage
- Pre-event massage: 15-30 minutes of stimulating, lighter work to prepare muscles for competition
- Post-event massage: Flushing massage to reduce soreness and promote recovery
- Maintenance massage: Weekly or fortnightly deep tissue work during training periods
- Rehabilitation massage: Targeted work on injured areas during recovery
