What is Massage?

Sports massage was originally developed to help athletes prepare their bodies for optimal performance, recover after a big event, or function well during training.

Sports massage is a type of Swedish massage that stimulates circulation of blood and lymph fluids. Some techniques are used to break down adhesions (knots in the muscles) and increase range of motion. It is good for people with injuries, chronic pain or restricted range of motion. The emphasis is prevention and healing of injuries to the muscles and tendons.

Pre-event sports massage is a short, stimulating massage 15 - 45 minutes before the event. It is directed toward the parts of the body that will be involved in the exertion.

Post-event sports massage is given within an hour or two of the event, to normalise the tissues.

Restorative sports massage is given during training to allow the athlete to train harder and with less injury.

Rehabilitative sports massage aims to decrease pain due to injury and returning the body to health.
