Due to its numerous benefits, sports massage can play an important role in an athlete's overall health and maybe even their performance, but certainly in their recovery.

"Sports massage is the scientific manipulation and assessment of soft tissue for the prevention of injuries," says Helen Wright, sports masseuse. "Massages maintain your physical condition by normalizing and improving muscle tone, promoting relaxation and stimulating your circulation."
