Sports massage involves the application of therapeutic massage and stretching to assist an athlete’s performance and recovery from activity. It is recognized as an effective part of training for many sports people. Massage also provides benefits during all phases of the training cycle before during and after competitions. The type of sports massage required is based upon your stage of competition/training.
