It is used as a supplement to an athlete’s warm-up to enhance circulation and reduce excess muscle tension prior to competition. It focuses on warming up the major musclesÌýto be used and getting the athlete in a good mental state for competition. ÌýIt also improves tissue pliability, readying the athlete for top performance.

Post-event sports massage can be given after an event and is mainly concerned with recovery. It is geared toward reducing muscle spasms and metabolic build-up that occur with vigorous exercise. Recovery after competition involves not only tissue normalization and repair but also general relaxation and mental calming.
