Sports massage

Sports Massage is a targeted manual therapy designed to manipulate soft tissues for athletic maintenance. It focuses on releasing muscle tension, flushing out metabolic waste, and preparing the body for intense physical exertion or rapid recovery post-training.

In contrast, Sports Therapy is a clinical discipline focused on injury assessment and rehabilitation. While massage manages soft tissue health, therapy diagnoses dysfunctional movement patterns and prescribes specific corrective exercises to return you to peak performance.
