Sports Massage

 

Sports massage is a combination of using effleurage, petrissage, frictions, tapotement, stretches and Sports therapy advanced techniques. To learn more about the different techniques used in sports massage and sports therapies please visit www.sports-massage.org using the Skills & techniques page. See below what the three main types of effect are when receiving a Sports massage. Remember you do not have to be involved in sport to receive a sports massage, as this can benefit everyone from manual lifting in a warehouse to office base work background.
