TLDR: No, not at all..
While it’s true that sports massage can be incredibly helpful for people who play sport or have physically demanding jobs, the benefits go far beyond that.
Sports Massage and soft tissue therapy is for clients of all ages, body types, and activity levels, even Santa!
It’s not just about performance. Massage can help with everyday aches and pains, stiffness from long hours at a desk, tension from stress, and that general “my body feels tight” feeling.
There are many potential benefits, but some of the most common include:
✨ Reduced pain and muscle tension [1]
✨ Improved flexibility and mobility
✨ Support for mental wellbeing [2]
✨ And honestly… they usually feel amazing!
You don’t need to be an athlete to benefit from a sports massage, you just need to have a body.
