What is the difference between a sports massage and a massage at a spa?

There are many differences in sports massage and a massage at the spa. A good sports massage therapist will be familiar with the movements and muscles involved in a particular sport and will focus the massage on the areas that need the most work. Often times, the massage will not be a “full body” massage but may focus on the lower or upper extremities. Also, some of the therapies used in sports massage can be somewhat uncomfortable at times. These techniques are used to repair injured muscles and help promote the healing process.
