Sports Massage
Your body takes a beating when you push it — and it needs more than rest to recover properly. Sports massage combines deep tissue techniques, assisted stretching, and targeted work on specific muscle groups to speed up recovery, prevent injury, and keep your performance where you need it to be.

Sports massage is a specialized form of therapeutic massage built around how the body handles physical load. It draws from several modalities — including deep tissue, Swedish, and myofascial release — and applies them strategically based on what you're asking your body to do, whether that's training for a race or holding the same desk posture forty hours a week.
Most people know it as something athletes book around competition. That's one use, and we do it well. But the same techniques that help a runner recover between long efforts also help someone whose hips have tightened up from years of sitting. The strategy changes; the tools don't.
For athletes and active bodies, sports massage generally follows three phases:
- Pre-event — stimulating, faster-paced work to warm up the muscles, increase circulation, and prepare the body for peak performance. Typically done 24–48 hours before competition or a major training session.
- Post-event — slower, recovery-focused work to reduce soreness and support the body's repair process. Best done within 24–48 hours after intense activity.
- Maintenance — regular sessions during training cycles to address cumulative tension, keep small issues from becoming injuries, and maintain range of motion.
If you're not training for anything, maintenance is where you live. Regular sessions focused on restoring range of motion, releasing the tension patterns your daily posture builds, and keeping your body moving the way it's supposed to. Same work, different rhythm — and for a lot of our clients, the most valuable thing we do.

How it works:
Sports massage targets the specific muscle groups carrying the most load — whether that load comes from your sport or from the position your body holds all day. Your therapist will assess your movement patterns, areas of chronic tension, and what your week actually looks like, then design a session around restoring range of motion and addressing the tension patterns you've built.
What to expect during your session:
Expect focused, purposeful work. Your therapist will ask about your training or your daily routine, any areas of pain or restriction, and what you're working toward. Pressure will be firm and targeted, and some sessions include assisted stretching. This is results-driven bodywork from start to finish.
Who it's best for:
Sports massage isn't just for athletes. It's for anyone whose body is under load — whether that's from training hard or from not moving nearly enough.
That includes competitive and recreational athletes, people in physically demanding jobs, and anyone training for a specific event or goal. But it's just as valuable for desk workers logging eight-plus hours in a chair, people working around mobility limitations, and anyone whose range of motion has quietly shrunk over the years. Sitting still all day creates its own kind of strain — shortened hip flexors, locked-up shoulders, a spine that's forgotten how to move — and sports massage addresses exactly that.
