Sports Therapy

What is Sports Therapy?

Sports Therapy massage is especially helpful for everyone –
Weekend Warriors to Competitive Professionals.

A sports therapy session is typically a combination of several massage techniques that are tailored to your affected muscle groups based on the activities that you do. A typical session can include specific techniques using quick and vigorous strokes on localized body parts where a particular activity may have caused tension and muscle adhesions, or a focused stretching and relief session, depending on your specific needs. Taking advantage of these specific strokes and stretches will help obtain maximum performance and physical conditioning with less chance of injury or pain. It increases power, endurance, and flexibility both before and after an event or workout. During the session, the provider will manipulate the soft tissue (muscle) to prevent or improve sports injuries. Sports Therapy massage works deep in the muscles, realigning the muscle fibers and connective tissue, and flushing away the built-up toxins like lactic acid.

There are two types of sports massages that can benefit athletes, depending on when you schedule your appointment and your routine schedule. Regular sessions will increase joint mobility and flexibility, reduce the risk of injury during exercise, can help flush the lactic acid out of your body.
