Reduce Pain and Muscle Soreness

Types of Sports Massage

Maintenance Sports Massage

Regular sessions of our maintenance sports massage help maintain overall health, prevent injuries, and reduce recovery time.

Training Sports Massage

The training sports massage and therapy are designed to fit between your training sessions. They relieve muscle tension and soreness and reduce the risk of injury. 

Injury Prevention Massage

This massage addresses imbalances and tightness in the body and helps with injury prevention during training sessions or other activities. 

Injury Rehabilitation Massage

This type of massage is suitable for both chronic and acute injuries. Light pressure techniques are applied around injured areas to help heal and recover. 

Pre-Event Massage

Pre-event massages are taken before an active event to maintain peak performance. These massages help release built-up tension, increase blood flow, and improve flexibility and mobility.

Post-Event Massage

These massages are taken after the active event and help reduce muscle inflammation and soreness by improving blood flow and helping with the healing process. 

What to Expect During Your Visit

Here is what you should expect during your Sports Massage session.

Before Your Massage:

Your session begins with a consultation

• To discuss your concerns.

• To create a personalized therapy plan.

During Your Massage:

During the session, 

• Our therapist ensures your comfort and privacy. 

• Feel free to communicate your needs and comfort levels with the therapist.

After Your Massage:

Post-session, we recommend 

• Drinking plenty of water to flush out toxins. 

• A detox bath for at least 20 minutes with 2 cups of Dead Sea salt, 2 cups of baking soda, and 2 cups of borax to further enhance the benefits. The detox bath should be as hot as possible; the more you sweat, the more toxins are released.
