When performed by a trained professional, sports massages are safe. Minor pain may be experienced during a massage, but this is because the therapist is targeting problem areas and working to relieve damage done to the muscles and tissues in a particular region.
There are some conditions that are classified as contraindications. When a contraindication is present, a massage should not be performed as it could be harmful. A therapist should always check for contraindications before performing a massage. Common contraindications include open wounds, muscle and tendon ruptures, contusions, burns and broken bones.
