Sports massage is commonly used for its benefits to athletes in sports like hockey, tennis, track and field, basketball, golf, skiing, snowboarding, motor cross and football just to name a few.

Injuries are unfortunately part of the game and can have negative affects on a player's body and on team moral. Sports massage can assist in a quick recovery by increasing the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the muscles to assist in getting you back to your optimal performance.

Sport massage can improve circulation by manipulation of blood flow that occurs through pressure and heat associated with massage. Increased circulation improves the efficiencies of your body s abilities to create new energy to replace the energy exerted while playing sports. It also improves the bodies abilities to remove toxins and byproducts associated with the physical demands placed on the body, which will help reduce muscle soreness.

Sports massage helps loosen stiff muscle fibers and connective tissue. The friction and heat associated with Sports Massage reduces the risk of injury by reducing muscle stiffness and increasing flexibility.
