Sports massage therapy is a type of massage focused on helping athletes prevent injuries, improve performance, and recover from workouts or injuries. Unlike regular massages that mainly aim to relax you, sports massage therapy targets the muscles and tissues used in specific sports activities. It's designed to help your body perform better and recover faster. It involves a combination of different massage techniques such as deep tissue massage, stretching, and pressure application. These techniques help to increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and break down scar tissue.

The main benefits include reducing muscle soreness, enhancing flexibility, improving range of motion, and speeding up recovery time after intense physical activity. It can also help in identifying and treating potential injury areas before they become serious. This type of massage therapy can also be used as an adjunct therapy for those that may be currently recovering from a surgery to help improve their overall recovery.

You will be briefly screened by a Doctor of Physical Therapy to get a better idea of your goals and what you would like to focus on. After the session, some supplemental exercises to help improve on the identified impairments may be prescribed to you to help promote more long-term changes.
