Sports Massage Therapy: Optimize Recovery and Performance

Whether you're a professional athlete, a weekend warrior, or someone simply trying to stay active, Sports Massage Therapy can make a significant difference in how your body performs and recovers. At AHC Wellness Clinic, our Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) in Mississauga specialize in sports massage to help prevent injury, reduce recovery time, and enhance mobility.

‍ What Is Sports Massage?

Sports massage is a targeted form of therapeutic massage focused on the muscles most used in your sport or activity. It incorporates techniques such as deep tissue massage, trigger point release, stretching, and myofascial work. Unlike a general relaxation massage, sports massage is goal-oriented and performance-driven.
