Sports Massage

Sports Massage is perfect for treating existing injuries and/or providing preventative care for active people. After a demanding competition a Sports Massage offers athletes the opportunity to recuperate and relax and can also enhance your preparation and ultimately your performance for future competitions. The application of common massage techniques, range of motion protocols, and strength-training elements to help an athlete reach predetermined goals is what Sports Massage Therapy is all about. We tailor the specific regimen and technique to the athlete and their sport of choice. We focus heavily on the athlete’s most overused and stressed areas of the body, which is especially critical when dealing with an aggressive sport. Our sports massage employs deep tissue methods to target and warm the most-used muscles while at the same time expelling post-workout toxins. No matter what your sport of choice and workout routine is, sports massage therapy will be immensely beneficial. Sports massage increases flexibility, reduces fatigue, improves endurance, and reduces your overall recovery time after competition or training. Our sports massage therapy will be tailored to each individual client which will assist in maximizing your ability to perform.  Our tailored therapy will focus on three key principles when assessing your needs and designing therapy sessions, timing, technique and intent. Timing of the massage either before or after a competition or in some cases both before and after. The specific massage technique used for sports massage will often include one or more of the following common techniques, friction, compression, direct pressure, stretching, and effleurage. We will identify the intent or the reason for treatment and create a treatment plan accordingly. Because we understand the importance of these three key principles our clients have the ability to train harder with shorter intervals between training and ultimately perform at a higher level during competition.
