What Is Sports Massage?

"ALEXSON ROY: So what is sports massage? So like I said before, sports massage is pretty much movement, passive range of movement. It requires me, kind of, stretching and pulling on your joints and kind of, I guess, the tense areas kinda like relaxing them in a way but doing it by stretch and pulling and relieving the joints of any type of, I guess, kind of stiffness. Okay? So what we're going to do is we're going to focus on the upper body, which is pretty much anything from the lower back up to the base of the neck. So let's say, we have an athlete, right, that plays football or plays tennis or golf or anything like that. Okay? They're mainly going to have problems in the area of that fluid-like movement, that movement that is kinda continuous over and over and over again, 'cause what's going to happen is it's going to wear out. Okay? And so what we're going to do, we want to focus on a number of areas that have to do with particular sports, in general."
