Differences between Deep Tissue Massage & Sports Massage

Massage Therapy from Our Chiropractor in Redwood City, CA

Here at Awender Chiropractic, Massage and Weight loss, we offer sports and deep tissue massages with our experienced massage therapists, Brenda and Jose, so that you can receive the muscle therapy you need in order to stay mobile and improve your muscle performance. Deep tissue massages are designed to help reduce pain that is associated with stiff muscles and various past and current injuries. Sports therapy massages are used to help improve performance before a game and decrease recovery time after exercising.

Difference Between Deep Massage & Sports Massage Therapy 

Deep Tissue Massage - A deep tissue massage utilizes moderate to firm pressure and long, slow hand strokes. The firm pressure helps reach the deeper layers of the muscles and soft tissues in order to help alleviate muscle pain and tension. This type of massage is beneficial for individuals who have lower back pain, tendonitis, joint restriction due to injuries and scar tissue.

Sports Massage - A sports massage is a targeted massage that is designed to help heal muscles after a workout and relieve pain. This type of massage uses a variety of pressures and hand strokes in order to loosen and relax specific overworked muscles. For example, if you play tennis, you may need regular massages in your dominant arm that specifically target your shoulder elbow and wrist. Sports massages are great before and after a workout or game.
