            WHEN TO USE SPORTS MASSAGE

​

Pre-Event
A pre-event sports massage is delivered a day before a competition. It is brisk and light and involves a lot of stretches.

During an Event
This will be done during an event to reduce stress on muscles that are reacting from repetitive motions and to keep the athlete flexible in order to prevent injuries.



Post-Event
A post-event massage should be given shortly after the event to flush the body of lactic acid that built up during the activity and to focus on places where the athlete feels pain.



Palliative care/ Maintenance
This massage is done on a weekly basis to help prevent a build up of tension as well as prevent any over-use injuries from occurring. It also  helps to break down adhesions  (scar tissue)
