Sports massage can be given pre-event (before), post-event (after) or maintenance (in between events or workouts)

1) PRE-EVENT - is done before a competition or practice. It focus is to increase circulation, range of motion of the joints, decrease tightness and hypertonicity of major joints and muscles, and stimulate the body for the competition or workout.

DOMS is pain felt 8 to 24 hours after exertion. The pain will peak at around 48 hours after the event and will decrease after a few days. DOMS is decreased if performed within two hours after stopping strenuous exercise.

3) MAINTANENCE - Is done between events and is used as an overhaul of the body. Its focus is to loose nmuscled and tissue, decrease tightness and increases range of motion.
