Sports massage is a specialized form of massage therapy crafted to assist athletes and active individuals in preparing for and recovering from physical exertion. Frequently employed before, during, or after athletic events and training sessions, it enhances performance, minimizes injury risk, and accelerates recovery. Beyond preparation, sports massage effectively reduces muscle pain and swelling. This modality combines an array of techniques—effleurage, petrissage, and trigger point therapy—akin to those in Swedish massage, yet it distinguishes itself with a brisker pace and firmer pressure. By targeting specific muscle groups and tension areas, sports massage delivers precise support tailored to the demands of an active lifestyle.
