Sports massage is a form of massage involving the manipulation of soft tissue to benefit a person engaged in regular physical activity.

Sports massage is designed to assist in correcting problems and imbalances in soft tissue that are caused from repetitive and strenuous activities. Sports massage, prior to and after exercise, may enhance performance, aid recovery and prevent injury.

Sports massage is proven to release and reduce tension in muscles, improve circulation and encourage the removal of waste products such as lactic acid during high intensity activity and can help to relax the body. All of this helps promote recovery and reduces the chance of muscle injury.
