I get asked on a regular basis what sports massage is actually good for and do you have to be ‘sporty’ to reap the full benefits!

In a nutshell no! You definitely do not have to be ‘sporty’

Sports massage is basically a type of rehabilitations and in my professional experience one of the best types of massage for muscular issues. But it doesn’t stop there - Sports massage has been proven to help other conditions.
The benefits of having regular sports massage include:
Muscles and joints are relieved of pain
Improved flexibility
Injury prevention and rehabilitation
Faster recovery from hard training
Can be used as a self-maintenance programme
Improves posture
Boosts the general blood circulation
Brings fresh oxygen/nutrients to massaged areas
Improves lymphatic drainage
Releases natural 'pain killing’ chemicals
Stimulates the immune system and can reduce inflammation
Breaks down painful, restrictive scar tissue caused by injury or surgery
Deeply relaxes mind and body by releasing tension
Hope this helps!
