They determine the treatment of a client by obtaining medical history and pain or stress problems. They discuss with the client and based on the information provided, they develop a course of action to aid in the healing of the injury or problem. Sports massage is a form of bodywork geared toward participants in athletics. Sports massage focuses on these - pre-event massage, maintenance massage and post-event massage. Sports massage therapists usually carry out treatment before professional sport competitions so as to help improve the athlete’s flexibility (pre-event massage). They also offer treatment after the competitions in order to alleviate injuries and/or keep the muscles from tightening (post-event massage). Sports massage therapy can be provided to everyday clients who seek to receive benefits of sports massage, such as - faster recovery from strenuous workouts, increased flexibility and long range motion, increased blood circulation, reduced muscle spasms and strain, reduced blood pressure and stress and also for the rehabilitation from injuries or chronic pain.
