Sports Massage
From Wikiwel
Sports massage is treatment given with the understanding not only of anatomy and physiology but also of the particular demands placed upon the body by the client and their specific sport. Sports massage is done with the principal mandate of returning you to your desired sports activity with the same or an even better level of function. Sports massages can include more aggressive techniques that approach muscles more deeply.Sports massage will often utilise a variety of modalities such as :
- Remedial massage
- Swedish massage
- Cross-fibre friction massage
- Deep-compression massage
- Deep tissue work.
- Trigger-point therapy.
Primarily, the difference lies with function. That is, returning you to your chosen activity in optimal functional.
