Sports Massage

Sports massage is a form of bodywork geared toward participants in athletics. I'll focus on muscles relevant to the event. For athletes who train continuously, the goal is to enhance endurance, lessen the chance of injury and shorten the time needed to recover from an event.

I may utilize a variety of techniques such as classical Swedish Massage, trigger point therapy, deep tissue and stretching. Prior to an athletic event, Sports Massage may be used with stretching in order to help athletes to loosen, warm and prepare their muscles so that their performance and endurance might be enhanced. Following an athletic event, Sports Massage may be used to relieve pain, prevent stiffness, and return the muscles back to their normal state. It is also used as maintenance massage to help keep the body in its optimal condition.
