Sports massage is a form of massage involving the manipulation of soft tissue (skin, fascia, muscle, tendon, ligament) to assist in the correcting of problems in soft tissues that can be caused from repetitive and strenuous physical activity and / or injury.
The overall positive effects of soft tissue manipulation include muscular relaxation, reduced muscular tension, tightness and spasm and enhancing circulation of both blood and lymph in the area of dysfunction and / or injury, which will aid healing and recovery and may assist in helping reduce the risk of (re)injury.
