Sports Massage vs. Standard Massage

Determining what kind of massage is right for you can be quite the quest. Different massage professionals offer different massage types, and it's understandable that a majority of clients will need some clarification as to what makes one massage different from another.  The most common massages are therapeutic, deep tissue, and sports massage. 

A sports massage is geared more toward helping and athlete improve their performance. This can be done before, during, or after a game or event. Most of the time the masseuse focuses on improving flexibility and helping to prevent injuries. Often times an athlete needs a therapeutic massage to a very specific area that they may be experiencing problems with. A good massage therapist will tend to the needs of the athlete, as well as incorporating their best judgment in order to achieve the best results.

Therapeutic and deep tissue massages are often requested for a single session for a chance to let loose and relax. Different techniques are used on each different massage, and different areas are targeted. Massage is something that is really customized for each person, to help them feel relief where they need it the most.
