Sports massage offers non-athletes benefits such as reduced muscle pain and tension, improved flexibility and circulation, and relief from common issues like poor posture and repetitive strain injuries. It also provides mental health benefits by easing stress, anxiety, and fatigue, which can lead to improved mood and a greater sense of well-being.

pre-event massage physically prepares muscles for activity through increased blood flow, warmth, and muscle stimulation. It also provides a psychological boost by stimulating nerve endings and promoting a state of readiness through a fast, rhythmic application that can reduce stress and risk of injury, increase focus and enhance performance.

Post-event benefits athletes by accelerating recovery, reducing muscle soreness and fatigue, and improving flexibility through increased blood flow and waste removal. Effleurage (stroking) promotes lymphatic drainage and circulation, while petrissage (kneading) squeezes and loosens muscle fibers to release tension and spasms. Combined, these techniques reduce the risk of injury by helping the muscles recover from the stress of exercise.
