What Is Sports Massage? (Deep Tissue Massage for Athletes?)
Sports Massage is a specific form of massage that is typically used before, during, and after athletic events. The purpose of the massage is to prepare the athlete for peak performance: to get latic acid moving out through the lymph system, to relieve swelling, to restore muscle performance and to prevent injury. Our sports massage in St. Paul, MN can be much lighter than deep tissue if you are about to compete in a sporting event. We do incorporate true sports massage (as described above) in the sessions when needed, but for the most part, most clients are actually seeking "theraputic deep tissue massage for athletes" when they type "sports massage" in google. Two very different teqniques. But we are here for both needs and we can best assess what you need in your in-person intake.
