What is Sports Massage?
Sports massage is usually more focused than a general relaxation massage. The therapist works around the muscle groups that are carrying the most load—often the legs, back, shoulders or arms—depending on your activity. It can include firmer pressure and some movement or stretching.
Tell the therapist what activity you do and which areas feel most worked. That gives the session a clearer purpose. Sports massage is not a substitute for medical treatment after a serious injury; if you have significant pain or a recent injury, get appropriate medical advice first.
Who usually chooses it?
Before your appointment
Call ahead and confirm that sports massage is available. When you arrive, tell the therapist what pressure you prefer and mention any recent injury, strong sensitivity or area you do not want worked on.
Questions people ask
Is sports massage only for athletes?
No. It can also suit anyone whose work or routine repeatedly loads the same muscle groups.
Should I book sports massage for an injury?
Massage is not a diagnosis or emergency treatment. Seek medical advice for significant, recent or unexplained pain.
