What is Sports Massage, and how can it help you?
Sports Massage utilizes a mixture of techniques ranging from Swedish, Deep Tissue, Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Release, and Facilitated Stretching. Whether you're a professional athlete nursing a chronic injury, a weekend warrior sore from skiing too long or a computer jockey with back pain from extended sitting, we can help you. For many individuals Sports Massage has become an integral component of advancing personal health and fitness goals. ,
Sports massage has tremendous value for the aging athlete. The prominent cause of diminishing athletic ability over time is due to years of micro-trauma from over exertion coupled with the cumulative results of old unresolved injuries. When Sports Massage is used on a regular basis, the effects of these traumas are lessened and the effects of injuries are overcome. The muscle tissues and fascia remain supple and pliable much longer. The musculoskeletal system keeps full range of motion and the natural slowdown associated with aging is pushed back to a much later time.
