What is sports massage?
Sports massage is a type of remedial massage therapy designed to help athletes recover more quickly, prevent injury and aid in stretching. Sports massages target overused and stressed areas of the body that deal with forceful, aggressive, or repetitive movements as a result of a specific sport or athletic discipline.
Receiving regular sports massages can help improve performance, enhance flexibility, increase endurance, and limit fatigue. Many athletes have made sports massages a regular part of their routine, as they can help clear and relax the mind before a competition, race, game, or meet.
Pre-event, post-event, and maintenance sports massages
There are three main types of sports massages: pre-event, post-event, and maintenance sports massages. Depending on your athletic endeavours, each one can provide several benefits to your performance and overall well-being.

More questions about sports massages
We know that getting a sports massage for the first time can be a stressful decision, especially for athletes who want to make sure their performance remains optimal and their downtime is minimal. Sports massages can help heal strains and sprains much faster and get athletes back to their sport as soon as possible.
When should I schedule my first sports massage?
Many athletes choose to make a sports massage a part of their weekly or monthly routine, while others decide to get a sports massage when they experience an injury or need help improving their mobility and flexibility. In fact, regular sports massages can also help prevent injury by maximizing circulation, decreasing stress cortisol hormones, and decreasing muscle tension.
You should schedule your first sports massage when it is most convenient for you. Our dedicated team can help you decide how the sports massage will work best for your body, and where it might be able to fit into your regular fitness routine.
Will a sports massage hurt or leave me too achy?
Sports massage targets the fascia deep inside the muscle tissue. This means it requires a bit more pressure than some other massages, and it can leave you feeling like your muscles experienced an intense workout for up to 48 hours. However, if you stay well-hydrated before your appointment and you alternate ice and heat on your muscles when you get home, your recovery time will be minimal.
