What is Sports Massage?

A Sports Massage may provide the extra boost you need to enhance your workout, whether it’s adding an extra day at the gym or running another mile. Designed for individuals actively engaged in physical activities, sports massages are beneficial for both amateur and professional athletes alike. This type of massage focuses not on relaxation, but on preventing and treating injuries while enhancing athletic performance.

A variety of techniques can be utilized, including Swedish massage, stretching, compression, active joint movements, and fascial releases.

Benefits of Sports Massage:

A sports massage can be a full-body treatment or target specific areas of concern. Your licensed massage therapist will employ various techniques to manipulate muscles, tendons, and ligaments, increasing circulation, stimulating the nervous and lymphatic systems, and reducing pain and restrictions related to injuries. Regular sports massages can help prevent injuries and improve athletic performance.

During your massage, you will be fully and modestly draped with a sheet or blanket. The therapist will only uncover the areas being treated, re-draping and tucking for your comfort. Clients may also request that certain areas of their body not be massaged.
