What is Sport massage?



Origins:

The main purpose for sports massage is for athletes to be able to get their bodies ready for top performance, as well as recover afterwards.

How is the sport massage performed? 

Using the palm of the hand and the fingers, sports massage is performed with firm pressure. The pressure is applied on the upward stroke, while a light pressure is used during the downward stroke, avoiding the area of the upward stroke.

What can a Sport massage do for me? 

Sport massage is excellent for relieving tension in the muscles as well as balancing the muscular and skeletal systems. This technique may help athletes prevent injuries that can be cause by overusing the muscles.
