Sports Massage vs Swedish Massage
| Factor | Sports Massage | Swedish Massage |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure | Deep tissue — firm | Lighter — relaxation focused |
| Purpose | Recovery, injury prevention | Relaxation, stress relief |
| Pain level | Can be uncomfortable (productive) | Should be comfortable throughout |
| Best for | Active people, chronic tension | Stress, general wellness |
When to See a Sports Massage Therapist
- Post-exercise recovery — reduces DOMS, speeds muscle repair
- Chronic tension — desk workers with neck, shoulder and back issues
- Injury rehabilitation — alongside physiotherapy for soft tissue injuries
- Pre-event preparation — loosens muscles and improves range of motion
💡 Pro Tip: Drink plenty of water after sports massage. The increased circulation releases metabolic waste products that your kidneys need to filter. Dehydration after massage causes headaches and fatigue.
