What Sports Massage Can Do For You Sports massage, here at The Pittsburgh Center for Complementary Health and Healing, is a great way to optimize your athletic experience. Sports massage can help in the prevention and recovery from sports related injuries. It can help increase range of motion and athletic performance. Sports massage "evens out" the muscle tone within the body, allowing the chronically tight muscles ( where injuries occur ) to relax. Massage increases oxygen and blood supply to the muscles as toxins are released. Passive stretching during sports massage opens up formerly stuck areas, increasing range of motion.
