Sports massage is a form of massage involving manipulation of soft tissue and can be applied in both a sporting and non-sporting setting. In general, sports massage is used to relax the muscular skeletal system and target any specific problem areas.
Deep tissue massage helps to reduce muscle tension and improve blood flow through the deeper tissues of the muscle, where blood flow can be poor. Limited blood flow leads to an accumulation of inflammatory chemicals and lactic acid that can hamper recovery or hinder performance.
Swedish massage, or classic massage as it called in some countries, is a more relaxing massage, focused on the body's superficial layers with medium pressure.
Not at all! Sports massage can be an appropriate form of massage therapy for a large number of patients not undertaking any form of consistent exercise.
For instance, patients sitting at a desk for long periods of time, or those working on low work surfaces, will also require the somewhat more specific tissue selection in treatment approach associated with a sports massage.
