The earliest record of sports massage dates back to around 30-200 AD when a Roman physician named Galen would prescribe massage for gladiators before and after exercising. Jumping forward to the early 1900s, a Finnish man won 5 Olympic gold medals in the running competition and credited his success to the massages he received regularly.

Sports massage is a therapy that is focused on those who are more athletic to improve both performance and recovery through pre-event, post-event, and rehabilitation massages. Though sports massage is especially beneficial for athletes, people who do hard physical labor daily, those with fibromyalgia, recovering from physical injuries and muscle trauma, or even if you get sore and achy muscles after a workout would benefit from this type of massage.

There are proven benefits to receiving a sports massage. Some of these benefits include the treatment of sciatica and chronic pains, loosening up tight muscles, improving sleep, increasing range of motion and flexibility, and even reducing DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) and other muscle aches.
