Massage is a manual technique in which the massage therapist works with their hands on the muscles and other soft tissues. They choose the pressure, pace and techniques according to what you need at the moment. Sometimes the goal is calm relaxation, other times more thorough work on overloaded areas after sport.

Classic or sports massage

We most often distinguish between:

classic massage, focused mainly on relaxation, release and overall comfort,
sports massage, used mainly with active people and athletes as part of recovery after training or exertion.

Massage as part of recovery

Massage can help reduce the feeling of muscle stiffness or soreness in the short term and improve the sense of recovery. However, it’s important to see it as a supplement to overall care for your body, not as a replacement for movement, good training, sleep or physiotherapy.

What the science says

Research shows that massage can be useful mainly for the subjective feeling of recovery, muscle soreness after exertion and relaxation. However, systematic reviews don’t show that massage significantly improves strength, speed, endurance or immediate athletic performance.

For muscle soreness after hard training, massage can bring short-term relief, so it can reasonably be included among recovery strategies.

Massage is a supplement to recovery, not a replacement for movement, good training, sleep or physiotherapy.

Frequently asked questions

Anything still unclear? Write to info@cvicisko.sk or give us a call.

What's the difference between classic and sports massage?

Mainly the goal and intensity. Classic massage tends to be more relaxing, while sports massage is more often adapted to the training load and the needs of the athlete.

Does massage help with muscle soreness?

It can help ease the feeling of soreness and stiffness after training, especially in the short term.

Is massage suitable for recovery after training?

Yes. It can be a pleasant supplement to recovery, but it isn’t essential for the body’s recovery itself.

Does massage help prevent injuries?

There isn’t enough evidence that massage alone can prevent injuries. Appropriately designed training, sufficient recovery and gradual dosing of load matter more.
