Sports massage has many potential benefits. Its primary aim is to restore full functionality to muscles and other soft tissues. This can simply mean easing the tension that has built up in your shoulders over long hours in the office or restoring maximum performance to an overtrained muscle-group of an athlete.

Sports massage is a very varied and sophisticated treatment that can help treat soft tissue injuries, maintain a healthy body and prevent injury. As the client, you can always tell the therapist if a manipulation causes you too much discomfort. The purpose of a sports massage is to restore the full potential of your muscular system, to help relieve problems and to prevent injury.

It also temporarily improves circulation and lymphatic flow, which brings more general health benefits. Some of its techniques involve slightly uncomfortable pressure on muscle tissue.

Sports massage has a calming effect, but it is not primarily a relaxing massage. You will find, however, that its effects can often be more lasting than with other types of massage.
