Sports Massage: Performance, Recovery, and Injury Prevention
Sports massage is a targeted style of bodywork that focuses on muscles and joints used in training and daily activity. Sessions can help reduce delayed onset muscle soreness, improve range of motion, and speed recovery between workouts. Whether you are a runner, lifter, or desk-bound professional dealing with tight hips and shoulders, a skilled therapist can adapt pressure and techniques to your goals.
Typical sessions combine firm, slow work on larger muscle groups with gentle mobility and stretching. Clients often schedule a lighter session 24–48 hours before an event and a deeper recovery session a few days after. Consistent work can improve movement patterns and help you train smarter.
