Why Sports Massage Isn’t Just for Athletes – It’s for You Too

Think sports massage is only for pro athletes? Think again.

Whether you’re brand new to training, a parent juggling life, or building skills in class each week – sports massage can level up your recovery, boost flexibility, and help your body feel its best.

At CaliUnity, many of our members use sports massage not just as recovery, but as a game-changing part of their progress.

What Sports Massage Actually Does

Muscle soreness (aka DOMS) is normal - especially after a tough Strength & Skills session or trying something new (looking at you, rings).

Sports massage helps by:

– Increasing blood flow
– Reducing inflammation
– Clearing waste products from sore muscles
– Improving oxygen delivery
– Helping muscles relax and repair

The result? Less pain, faster recovery, better training consistency.

It’s More Than Just Recovery

When done regularly, sports massage can:

– Improve your mobility and flexibility
– Help with tight hips and shoulders (hello, Desk Warriors)
– Support your progress toward splits, backbends, and handstands
– Reduce stress and anxiety through endorphin release
– Improve sleep and posture
– Boost your nervous system and lymphatic flow

“I injured my knee back in 2017… after just 6 weeks at CaliUnity, I went on holiday and hiked without pain. I felt stronger, calmer, and more confident.”

Massage Guns? Cool. But...

Yes, tools like Theraguns are great for at-home relief.
But they’re not a replacement for targeted, professional work.

– Personalise recovery plans
