Therapeutic Sports Massage

What is Therapeutic Sports Massage?

Therapeutic sports massage utilizes a deep pressure and is designed to address muscle and joint issues using specific techniques. Although it's often associated with athletes, it can be very effective for anyone who experiences muscle tension, stress, or discomfort from everyday activities.

​

Key Features:

​​

  1. Focused Treatment:

    • Target Areas: The massage targets specific muscle groups that may be tense or painful, even if you’re not involved in sports. For instance, it can help with back pain, shoulder tension, or neck stiffness.

    • Customized Approach: The therapist will adjust techniques based on your particular needs and concerns, whether they stem from sitting at a desk, repetitive tasks, or general muscle soreness.

  2. Techniques Used:

    • Deep Tissue Massage: Focuses on deeper muscle layers to relieve chronic tension.

    • Myofascial Release: Targets the connective tissues to improve flexibility and reduce tightness.

    • Trigger Point Therapy: Applies pressure to specific areas to alleviate muscle pain and discomfort

    • Cupping Therapy and Instrumented assisted soft tissue therapy (IASTT) also known as muscle scraping

  3. Benefits:

    • Relieves Muscle Tension: Helps to ease tight muscles and reduce discomfort.

    • Improves Flexibility: Enhances your range of motion and helps prevent stiffness.

    • Reduces Stress: Can be relaxing and help to lower overall stress levels.

What to Expect During Your Session:

​​

  1. No Sheets Used:

    • Exposure: Unlike some traditional massages where sheets are used, Therapeutic sports massage typically does not use them. 

  2. Clothing:

    • What to Wear: To make the treatment comfortable and effective, please wear shorts and a tank top. This attire allows the therapist to easily access and work on the muscles without needing to adjust or remove clothing.

  3. Process:

    • Initial Assessment: The therapist will discuss your specific issues and any areas of concern. They will then tailor the massage techniques to your needs.

    • Massage Techniques: Expect a range of techniques focused on easing muscle tension and improving your comfort.
