Sports massage is a specialized form of massage therapy that targets the manipulation of soft tissue such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue. It is specifically designed to address issues and imbalances within the soft tissue that may arise from repetitive or strenuous physical activities, as well as trauma related to sports or exercise. This type of massage aims to alleviate muscle tension, improve flexibility, enhance athletic performance, prevent injuries, and promote overall recovery and relaxation for athletes and physically active individuals.
