Sports massage was designed for athletes, but is useful for anyone with chronic pain, an over-use injury or range-of-motion issues.
Sports massage was originally developed to help athletes prepare their bodies for optimal performance, recover after a big event or function well during training. Not an Olympian? You don't have to be. Everyone can benefit sports massage. The massage therapist will generally concentrate on a specific problem area.
Remember to check your massage therapist's references before scheduling an appointment. Lauterstein-Conway also strongly recommends you read What to Expect at Your Appointment, Tips for Choosing a Massage Therapist and Massage Therapist-Client Ethics.
