Soreness happens to athletes in every sport. A way to reduce the amount of soreness you have is by getting a massage.
Massages are good for the body and also for the mind. There are physiological and psychological effects of a good sports massage.
The physiological effects are pain reduction in the area. The tension and waste products in muscles can often cause pain and soreness. A massage helps reduce this in many ways including releasing the bodies endorphins. Massage also allows the the body and mind to have complete relaxation. The muscles relax through heat generated, circulation and stretching.
One of the main psychological effects is the reduction of anxiety in the muscles. Muscles carry a lot of tension in them, especially during and after a workout. It is very important to relax these muscles through a sports massage.
There are many places to go to get massages, but you need to find the right place to go. There are specific places that specialize in sports massaging, which would be more benefitial for you.

The main difference between sports massage and other massage techniques is that it directly targets and reduces tension in muscles that are affected from the sport you are doing.
