Sports Massage offers distinct advantages for pre-event, inter-event, post-event and rehabilitation treatment and is increasingly regarded by professional athletes and coaches as playing an essential role in enhancing athletic performance and preventing injury.  

Sports Massage increases flexibility and range of movement. This results in a faster healing process and has the unique benefit of breaking down scar tissue, which can otherwise lead to reduced tissue mobility. The treatment assists injury through early detection of muscle dysfunction. It also promotes faster recovery after training and competition at both physical and psychological levels. 

Sports massage is particularly beneficial when an athlete is in training for an event.  It's also helpful for anyone who routinely stretches their physical limits through movement. 

Sporting injuries are commonly experienced when an individual has over-trained, fails to sufficiently warm up, receives trauma, or has muscular imbalances, poor flexibility, mineral deficiencies, inadequate endurance, or simply does too much too soon. Insufficient muscle strength and poor muscle tone may also lead to injury or a muscle tear. Sports massage can also be beneficial in rehabilitation.  It can accelerate the healing process, increase range of motion, reduce adhesions, and reduce swelling, bruising, and pain. 

Areas of stress in other muscles, created through compensating for an injury, can be eased with a regular sports massage regimen.  Sports massage can partially compensate for lack of exercise during inactivity while recovering from injury.
