Soft Tissue Therapy

Sarah TideySports Massage

Sports massage is designed to help athletes prepare their bodies for optimal performance, recover after a big event, or function well during training. Sports massage therapy is geared toward athletes of every kind, from world-class professionals to weekend joggers. Sports massage emphasizes prevention and healing of injuries to the muscles and tendons, working to reduce restrictions of joint and soft tissue range of motion. You will notice that sports massage promotes flexibility, reduces fatigue, helps prevent injuries and prepares the body and mind for optimal performance.

 

What Happens During a Sports Massage?
Sports massage therapists will use a variety of techniques to achieve the desired goal. The therapist might use general massage techniques to stimulate circulation of blood and lymph fluids, and deeper techniques to break down adhesions in the muscles, and stretching techniques to increase range of motion.

You don't have to be and athlete to benefit from sports massage.
