Sports Massage typically focuses on direct problem areas related to an individual’s sport and not the entire body. The Swedish massage techniques such as deep tissue stripping and stretching are directed towards four categories of sport and include: • Pre-event massage which is directed at the body parts involved with the sport. • Post event massage which is generally given shortly after the sport in order to help balance the body and restore the muscles and fascia. • Restorative massage which is the massage received during training. • Rehabilitative massage which is used to restore injuries
