The Main Difference Between Sports and Deep Tissue Massages

Sports massage begins with a process called ‘flushing’ which improves the circulation through the muscle and in so doing improves recovery time after activity. It makes use of firmer techniques in order to break apart tight and sticky tissue, bringing the muscle back to its original state prior to, or following exercise. It is used by both active and inactive individuals to improve the physical state of the muscle.

Deep tissue massage is a more intense technique used to release deep muscular and myofascial adhesions often brought on by stress and poor movement patterns.

Both of these massage modalities focus on function rather than ‘feel good.’
