What Is Sport Massage?

Sport Massage...is typically used before, during, and after athletic events. Its purpose is to prepare an athlete for peak performance, to relieve fatigue and swelling, to reduce muscle tension, to promote flexibility and to prevent injuries.

Where minor injuries and lesions occur, due to overexertion and/or overuse, sport massage can effectively break them down and help an athlete heal more quickly and remain active in his or her training.  Sport massage can also help prevent nagging injuries that often get in the way of performance and achievement.  In addition, sport massage reduces the heart rate and blood pressure, increases blood circulation and lymph flow, reduces muscle tension, improves flexibility, and relieves pain.  

Each sport has different demands on its players.  Each sport uses muscle groups in different ways. Sport massage is designed to address those specific concerns.  Sport massage can be specifically targeted to help heal strained muscles and allow healthy ones to reach peak performance and maintain it while minimizing the risk of injury.
