Sports massage is a form of therapeutic massage tailored to athletes, using techniques like deep tissue work, stretching, and trigger point therapy to prevent injury, relieve muscle tension, and speed recovery before or after physical activity. It is used by athletes at all levels, from amateur runners to professional teams, often as part of a broader training and rehabilitation regimen. Sports massage therapists typically have specialized training beyond general massage therapy certification.
