The extraordinary workings of the lymphatic system make blood circulation look simple by comparison. Made up of fine vessels and lymph nodes, this little-known circulation is an important part of the immune system. It quietly goes about its business, filtering out waste and debris, and carrying nutrients to cells.

Sports massage is adapted from Swedish massage. However, it is ideal for someone who wants the therapist to focus on a specific "problem area" since it is not generally used as a full-body massage technique. Instead, the therapist will focus on one or two areas that are causing the client pain or limited mobility. This is ideal for people who are having pain or tightness limited to one area of the body and want all of their massage session to be focused on that area. Sports massage aims to increase lympathic drainage and blood flow, enhancing healing and preventing injury.
