SPORTS MASSAGE

 

The goal of sports massage is often to restore normal function to the

athlete through identification of contracted tissues.

 

As an example, lateral knee pain may be caused by a chronically tight

Iliotibial Band. Or, pain at the fibular head may be caused by a tight hamstring (Bicepts femoris.) Release of this tight musculature along

with assisted stretching and massage can increase circulation and

reduce metabolic waste.

 

Marathon runners often receive regular massage as part of their overall maintenance to help relieve tension in overworked muscles before

problems develop and to help maintain flexibility and reduce injuries.

​

Sports massage is very helpful for professional athletes and weekend warriors alike. It is a great way to keep muscles loose, increase flexibility, reduce injuries and improve recovery time. Sports massage can be easily integrated into your training program with treatments based on your schedule. You can discuss your goals and needs with your therapist to determine what might work for you!
