A member asked:
Help please? what is the difference between a deep tissue massage and a sports massage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bodywork focus: Deep tissue massage focuses on the tissue beneath the superficial fascia. Thus it helps to relieve soreness in muscles and increase circulation in tight and achy areas. Sports massage focuses upon energizing the body and preparing folks to engage in physical activity or cool down from it.
