Sports massage is a massage approach adapted to the muscles of people who exercise regularly. Before training or competition it can be shorter and invigorating; afterwards it can be slower and aimed at recovery. The therapist focuses on the muscle groups you work, and may combine kneading, friction, pressure and stretching. The U.S. National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) lists sports massage as a type of massage. A 2018 systematic review of muscle soreness after exercise (Dupuy and colleagues) reported that massage appeared to be the most effective of the recovery methods studied for reducing delayed onset muscle soreness and perceived fatigue. Telling your therapist which sport you do and about any recent injuries before the session lets the work be adjusted to you.
Sessions usually last 30 to 60 minutes. Pre-competition sessions are kept short; post-training or general care sessions can be longer.
It suits people who run, work out, play team sports or cycle regularly, and those who want care that supports muscle recovery during heavy training periods.
If you have a fresh tear, sprain, fracture or swelling, talk to a doctor or physiotherapist before a massage; direct massage on an injured area is not recommended. If you had recent surgery or take blood thinners, tell your massage therapist.
At the start you share which sport you do, whether you trained recently, and any history of pain or injury. The therapist concentrates on the muscle groups you use and adds stretches when needed. Right before a competition, a light and invigorating session is discussed instead of heavy pressure. Afterwards it helps to drink water and put off heavy exertion.
