Sports and Athletic Massage
What is a Sports Massage?
Sports massages and athletic massages have been proven to be effective pre and post event. Pre-event massage includes activating and stimulating the tissues in order to help prevent injury, cramping due to strain or repetitive use and enhance overall performance. Post-event massage is a great way to recover and reduce muscle soreness.
This specialized area of massage entails extra focus, attention, and technique to the areas of the body that are regularly exerted during athletic activities. For example, runners often require extra focus on hips and legs while swimmers might need more attention to the neck and shoulders.
Furthermore, physical activities often cause injuries and scar tissue build up. Regular and specific massage techniques can help to reduce the limiting effects of scar tissue increasing performance and endurance. Our therapists will apply their knowledge and training to reduce fascia buildup and soreness. Whether you are an avid Crossfitter, a seasoned runner, or competitive racquetball player, we are confident we can help you perform at your best and recover faster after your event.
As always, drink water before and after and STRETCH often!
