Deep Tissue and Sports Massage
Deep tissue and sports massage are both types of massage therapy that focus on working into the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue in the body. There are some differences in their approaches and applications with both aimed at relieving tension and tightness in the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues but sports massage typically includes more dynamic stretching and mobilization techniques.
Benefits of deep tissue and sports massage includes:
- Relief from chronic muscle pain, stiffness, and tension
- Relaxation of muscle tissues
- Improved mobility by releasing tight muscles and fascia
- Improved fluid circulation
- Quicker recovery from intense workouts or athletic events by promoting blood flow to muscles, flushing out toxins, and reducing muscle soreness
- Relief of trigger points
- Reduced levels of anxiety and stress and enhanced well-being and mental alertness
- Improved energy levels
"Physical therapists who specialize in sports medicine often utilize massage techniques to aid an athlete’s recovery from intense exercise or as a treatment option when performing clinical rehabilitation. Sports massage has been suggested as a means to help prepare an athlete for competition, as a tool to enhance athletic performance, as a treatment approach to help the athlete recover after exercise or competition, and as a manual therapy intervention for sports-related musculoskeletal injuries" – Jason Brummit.
