Kneading in a sports massage consists of manipulating the tissue in many ways. Kneading involves lifting, squeezing and moving tissues. The alternate pressure and relaxation of the hand strokes exert a pumping action on the underling capillaries and veins. Pressure speeds up the flow of blood through the vessels so that waste products can be removed and fresh blood deliver oxygen . Kneading is used to mobilize tissue, increase blood circulation.

The alternate squeezing and releasing action of the hands on the tissue increases circulation to an area. Wringing is also used to improve tissue elasticity and extensibility. Wringing in a sports massage stretches tight fascia and muscle fibers to release tension and mobilize large muscles.
