Sports massages have a restorative, but also a preventive function.
Preventive: sports massage is used to reduce fatigue symptoms that are the direct result of physical exertion. The waste products that cause symptoms of fatigue such as pain or cramps are massaged from the muscles. Preparatory: Sports massage is used to activate muscles for a sports performance, as part of the warm up.
Restorative: the effect of almost any form of massage is mental and physical relaxation. In addition to the relaxed feeling that massage gives, the body will recover faster.
Sports and activities in our daily life often have the same influence on our body, which is why (sports) massage is also useful for non-athletes.
