Sports Massage

Sports massage is a recent addition to modern massage.

Though massage and sports have gone hand in hand since the first writings from Egypt and Greece this latest incarnation incorporates a wide variety of techniques designed to address the specific needs of athletes. These may include vigorous manipulation and assisted stretching to warm and lengthen muscles in preparation for activity as well as techniques to reduce muscle spasm and increase circulation following exertion. In the event of an injury focused massage is used to reduce swelling, speed healing, and inhibit the formation of scar tissue.
