What Is Sports Massage?
Sports massage is a specialized form of massage therapy designed for physically active individuals. It combines elements of Swedish massage, deep tissue work, stretching, and joint mobilization to help athletes prepare for peak performance, recover from intense training, and prevent injuries.
Whether you are a professional footballer, a weekend cyclist on the Dutch bike paths, a marathon runner, or simply someone who exercises regularly, sports massage addresses the specific demands your activities place on your body. The therapist focuses on muscle groups most affected by your sport — quads and hamstrings for runners, shoulders and arms for swimmers, lower back and legs for cyclists. Sessions can be adapted for pre-event preparation (stimulating and warming), post-event recovery (calming and restorative), or regular maintenance between training sessions.
