Intense exercise causes lactic acid buildup that leaves muscles tight and sore. Seoul sports massage is designed for this kind of muscle recovery, often using firmer deep-tissue pressure, so it tends to feel more intense than a typical Seoul massage. While Seoul Swedish massage focuses on overall relaxation, sports massage targets specific muscle groups like shoulders, calves, and thighs. Letting the therapist know which areas you worked out or where it hurts leads to much more effective care.
