Sports Massage for Recovery, Mobility, and Peak Performance

Whether you’re a professional athlete, a weekend warrior, or someone with an active lifestyle, sports massage can help you stay in top form. At Boston Massage and Bodywork, our sports massage services are designed to support athletic performance, aid in recovery, and reduce the risk of injury.

This specialized massage focuses on the muscle groups most affected by physical activity and repetitive motion.

Sports massage is a targeted approach that includes techniques such as deep tissue manipulation, stretching, range of motion, and trigger point therapy. It’s often used before or after physical activity to warm up muscles, improve circulation, and speed up recovery.

Unlike general relaxation massage, sports massage is dynamic and often interactive—clients may be guided through stretches or range-of-motion work to address specific concerns and performance goals. Clients have the option to wear sports bras and compression shorts during the massage. Depending on your needs, the entire session can be catered to lower body (for runners) or upper body (for boxers). As always, you will have a conversation with your therapist at the start of each session to ensure your treatment goals are met.

Sports massage can be especially beneficial for:

• Reducing post-workout muscle soreness
• Improving flexibility and mobility
• Preventing injuries from overuse or strain
• Supporting faster recovery after competition
• Enhancing overall athletic performance

Our therapists work closely with you to understand your physical routine and tailor your session to help meet your fitness and recovery goals. Whether you’re training for a marathon or just want to stay pain-free during workouts, sports massage is an effective way to care for your body.
