Sports Massage Schools teach fitness professionals how to stimulate an athlete's circulation and relieve stress through massage. The primary purpose of sports massage is to help athletes to perform in peak physical condition and avoid future injuries.

Sports Massage Schools instruct in a specific massage technique that uses a system of smooth movements such as gliding, compressing, and stretching. Sports massage focuses mainly on the manipulation, management, and rehabilitation of soft tissues.

Sports massage improves the athlete's blood circulation, which can enhance training ability, prevent injury, and increase the athlete's performance. An additional benefit is that it removes waste products and replenishes tissues with antioxidants and essential nutrients, giving a feeling of overall wellbeing. At sports massage school, students learn to detect deep tissue damage and imbalances, which can then be corrected before a possible injury ensues.

Sports massage is primarily taught as a specialty at most massage schools. Certification may be obtained after successful completion of a 180-hour course. Hourly earnings for a professional sports massage therapist are in the range of $10-$30 per hour.
