Sports massage combines techniques of Swedish and Deep Tissue massage and applies them specifically to contracted muscle areas.

Following physical exertion, sports massage helps restore normal muscle tone and range of motion. This has the added benefit of creating a condition of hyperemia, or increased blood flow. This improves blood circulation to the area, thereby bringing nutrients that are needed to fuel physical activity and removing resultant waste by-products.*
