Being able to slip an opponents punches is essential for a boxer. Damages from an opponent's punches could easily lead to a short career.

One of the benefits of a sports massage is that you can improve your flexibility, to outwit your opponent. You’ll have better footwork, and reflexes. Every landed punch counts and could be the difference between walking away victorious or with a loss.

Being mentally and physically prepared for training or a fight is important. A sports massage can bring a significant mental boost, by releasing "feel good" endorphins, so you'll feel more alert and wanting to succeed more than before.

Spending time doing resistance training or training on a punching bag can make your wrists hurt, shoulders feel stiff, and knees click. An option is to skip resistance work and do other activities like skipping or speed work. However, by the time you return to resistance training, progress has stopped, and feeling unmotivated kicks in. For beginners, this could mean giving up training.

Sports massages are great for helping your body to recover in quick time, so you can keep progressing in all aspects of your training.
