What is sports massage and how is it different from a regular massage?

A regular massage is designed to relax. Sports massage is designed to fix things. The techniques are more targeted, the pressure is often deeper, and the focus is on specific muscles and movement patterns rather than general relaxation.

That distinction shapes every sports massage session he delivers.
