What is massage therapy?

Massage therapy is the practice of kneading or manipulating a person's muscles and other soft-tissue in order to improve their wellbeing or health. It is a form of manual therapy that includes holding, moving, and applying pressure to the muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia.

Sports massage is a more vigorous form of massage than other types and focuses on promoting recovery and return to training and play in the shortest time frame possible. It is a highly effective way to increase flexibility, reduce post-exercise muscle soreness, and help you return to training or playing with less discomfort. 

Individuals engaged in regular physical activities, fitness enthusiasts, and those recovering from injuries can benefit from sports massage.
