Sports massage isn't only something you book when you're in pain. Research suggests massage can support recovery, reduce delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), improve flexibility and range of motion, and reduce perceived muscle stiffness and fatigue after exercise.
So, when might your body be telling you it's time for a session?
๐น You constantly feel tight or stiff โ especially through your back, neck, hips or legs.
๐น Your range of motion feels restricted compared with your normal movement.
๐น You're increasing your training volume or intensity and recovery is becoming harder.
๐น DOMS seems to linger after training or competition.
๐น You spend hours sitting at a desk or driving and regularly experience muscular discomfort or fatigue.
๐น Certain muscles continually feel overloaded despite stretching and mobility work.
๐น You simply don't feel recovered between sessions.
Sports massage isn't a magic fix, and it doesn't physically โflush toxinsโ or permanently break up knots. Instead, its benefits appear to involve a combination of neurological, circulatory and mechanical responses that can influence pain perception, muscle tone, mobility and recovery.
Think of it as part of your recovery and load-management strategy, alongside appropriate strength training, mobility, sleep and nutrition. ๐ช
