The most common sports injuries are; running knee pain, tennis elbow, shin splints, ankle sprains, hamstring strains and groin strains.

Massage techniques for sports injuries require firm and deep pressure to break down injured tendons and loosen tight muscles. Massage therapy helps sports enthusiasts heal and perform at their peak, while preventing future injuries.
