Sports massage is the manipulation of soft tissues of the body to relieve pain and decrease muscle tension which can lead to injury, dysfunction and a limited range of motion.

Unlike treatments from many GPs, who may prescribe painkillers, steroid injections or even surgery to mask the symptoms; the aim of a good SMT is to detect the root cause of the issue, reduce pain, restore full range of movement and prevent it from reoccurring or presenting as an overcompensation dysfunction elsewhere in the body.
