I had an enquiry yesterday from a lady asking if I did 'sports' massage. It's something that I get asked quite often.
Most people don't know the differences between the various types of massage therapy (then again, why would they?!).
It's as if the word 'sports' makes the massage superior in some way. Much as the words 'sports drink' somehow makes a bottle of sticky, artificially sweetened carbonated muck more healthy than a bottle of sticky, artificially sweetened carbonated muck that says 'Cola' on it.
Sports massage is a very specific type of massage that's targeted at a particular area; if a runner has a calf muscle problem, for example. It's actually bordering on physiotherapy.
Swedish, they type that I do, is a more holistic, deep tissue, total body treatment that deals with the body as a whole rather than treating an isolated area. Obviously, specific areas can be given more attention if their is an issue, but it's still a total body treatment.
When I explained the differences to the lady, it transpired that Swedish was what she actually wanted and a session was booked.
