Performance Meets Precision

Sports Massage is a results-driven treatment designed for active individuals—whether you're an athlete, weekend warrior, or someone with an active lifestyle. It focuses on improving mobility, speeding up recovery, and helping the body perform at its best. This type of massage combines deep pressure with targeted techniques to release tension, prevent injuries, and support muscle health before and after physical activity.

Understanding the Experience

  • A sports massage is a targeted treatment that focuses on muscles used during physical activity. It helps reduce soreness, improve flexibility, and support recovery and performance.

  • Sports massage can help release tight muscles contributing to anterior pelvic tilt, such as the hip flexors and lower back. However, long-term correction also involves stretching, strengthening, and posture work.

  • It works by increasing blood flow, breaking down muscle adhesions, reducing inflammation, and improving range of motion. It can be both preventative and rehabilitative.

  • It is best to rest for 24 hours after a deep sports massage, especially if intense pressure or trigger point work was used. Light activity is fine, but avoid strenuous workouts.

  • You typically need to complete a massage therapy program, earn your license, and pursue specialized training or certification in sports massage techniques.
