Whether you are an amateur or a high-level athlete, sports massage can be beneficial. In fact, anyone who practices any physical activity can benefit from it. Used both in preparation for training and for recovery, sports massage aims to preserve joint mobility and muscle flexibility while relieving training-related aches and pains.
More specifically, this type of deep tissue massage includes a range of maneuvers such as myofacial release, trigger points, intramuscular massage, passive mobilizations, stretching, lymphatic drainage and pumping.
The benefits can be multiple:
- Decrease in muscle tension
