It's massage for sporty people, right? Not quite...
Sports massage is the manipulation of the body's soft tissues - muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia - to improve mobility and function. Of course, as it's name suggests, sports massage can help with training regimes and sporting injuries, but it's suitable for all types of people regardless of age, gender or activity level.
We use our muscles all the time; so whether you're training for a marathon, sitting at a desk all day, or even digging up the garden, massage can help to improve flexibility and posture as muscle tension can affect anyone. Bad backs, sprains and tension headaches to name a few can all benefit from massage.
So perhaps 'sports' massage isn't the most descriptive term, but what's in a name when it's the results that really matter.
