These are two of the most intense massages and they are often confused. Both work the muscle in depth, but they have different goals. Here is how to know which one suits you.
Deep tissue / decontracting massage
Its goal is to release knots and muscle tension. It is the right choice if you spend many hours sitting or at the computer, if you have neck, nape or back pain, or if stress leaves your muscles loaded. It works mainly on the neck, shoulders and back.
Sports massage
It is designed for active people and athletes. It is the right choice if you train regularly, if you want to speed up recovery after effort, or if you are looking for muscle release before and after a competition. It helps reduce soreness and the risk of injury.
Which one do I choose?
- If your tension comes from everyday life, stress or sitting: deep tissue or decontracting.
- If your tension comes from sport and training: sports massage.
