Proper timing and application of Sports Massage techniques support an athletes health, training, and performance. This massage therapy incorporates the most stretching and range of motion techniques out of all the modalities I offer. This is not to say you have to be an olympian to receive a Sports Massage. Everyone can benefit from this modality, especially those who are more physically active than the average person. When receiving a sports massage theres a chance only one or two areas will be focused on. These areas are typically areas of which are hindering your performance. Swedish strokes, muscle friction techniques, trigger point therapy, range of motion techniques and stretching may be incorporated.
After each area is worked, the muscles associated will be stretched either actively or passively. A sports massage can be performed without sheets and draping if the client is wearing appropriate attire (loose fitting shorts and for women, a sports bra). If you wish to not wear clothing and lay under sheets, this is fine too. You will be properly draped and will be given hold of the sheet that has been wrapped if necessary to not be exposed while stretching and performing range of motion techniques.
Whether you are an athlete, are involved in competitive training, exercise regularly, your recreational activities are physically demanding, or you're looking to increase your flexibility, this type of massage therapy can most certainly be the best fit for you.
