Faster Recovery:
Boosts local blood circulation to flush out metabolic waste and deliver nutrient-rich blood to tired muscles.
Improved Flexibility:
Stretches tight muscle fibers and breaks down minor scar tissue or adhesions, increasing your range of motion.
Pain Reduction:
Releases deep muscle tension, reduces inflammation, and triggers the body's natural pain-relieving endorphins.
Injury Prevention:
Identifies and treats tight spots or muscle imbalances before they turn into actual strains or tears.
Sports Massage can be tailored to any sport or activity, whether it be playing football or everyday activities like carrying your child.
We will focus on wherever you are overworked, in pain, or lacking flexibility.
Sessions range from 60-90 minutes
Stresses:
Calves, hamstrings, quads, hip flexors, and IT bands.
Sports Massage focuses no:
Loosening tight hip flexors, flushing out fatigued quads/hamstrings, and relieving tension in the lower legs to prevent shin splints and Achilles issues.
Stresses:
Shoulders (rotator cuffs), lats, upper back, and neck.
Sports Massage focuses on:
Opening up the chest and rotator cuffs to restore overhead reach, and releasing the latissimus dorsi (lats) to maintain a powerful pulling stroke.
Stresses:
Groin (adductors), hamstrings, calves, and ankles.
Sports Massage focuses on:
Maintaining groin and hamstring flexibility to prevent sudden pulls, and reducing stiffness in the calves and ankles from constant sprinting and jumping.
Stresses:
Forearms, shoulders, calves, and lower back (from twisting).
Sports Massage focuses on:
Treating "tennis elbow" (forearm extensors), releasing the dominant shoulder, and loosening the lower back and calves from explosive lateral movements.
Stresses:
Lower back, shoulders, glutes, quads, and forearms/wrists (from gripping).
Sports Massage focuses on:
Restoring shoulder mobility, releasing deep tension in the lower back/erector muscles, and breaking up tightness in the glutes to support heavy squatting and pressing.
Stresses:
Hamstrings, hip flexors, lower back, lats, and arches of the feet.
Sports Massage focuses on:
Lengthening hyper-extended muscles, maintaining safe flexibility in the hips, and breaking up microscopic scar tissue in the feet and calves from jumping.
Stresses:
Quads, calves, ankles, and outer glutes/hips.
Sports Massage focuses on:
Releasing the deep stabilizing muscles of the hips and ankles used to carve snow, and flushing metabolic waste from quads that burn from downhill runs.
Stresses:
Lower back, hips, thoracic spine (upper/mid-back), and forearms.
Sports Massage focuses on:
Improving rotational mobility in the mid-back and hips to maximize swing power, and releasing lower back strain caused by asymmetrical twisting.
Stresses:
Upper back (rhomboids/traps), forearms, lats, and hamstrings.
Sports Massage focuses on:
Relieving the intense "pump" and tightness in the forearms from gripping, and opening up the mid-back to prevent a hunched rowing posture.
Stresses:
Neck, upper traps, chest (pecs), lower back, and forearms.
Sports Massage focuses on:
Reversing the "hunched posture" by stretching tight chest muscles, releasing tension at the base of the skull (which causes headaches), and loosening forearms from typing.
Stresses:
Neck, shoulders, rib cage (intercostals), and hips.
Sports Massage focuses on:
Releasing tight neck muscles from grappling, restoring shoulder flexibility for striking, and loosening tight hip flexors used in kicking and ground work.
Stresses:
Forearms (the "pump"), fingers, lats, upper back, and hip flexibility.
Sports Massage focuses on:
Relieving deep tension in the forearm flexors and hands from intense gripping, opening up tight shoulders and lats to restore overhead reach, and loosening hips for high-step moves on the wall.
By utilizing fast, rhythmic strokes rather than deep, relaxing pressure, it rapidly increases circulation, warms up muscle tissue, and sharpens your nervous system's responsiveness. It gives you an immediate boost in joint mobility and physical alertness without the tiring effects of deep tissue work, perfectly priming your body to move with maximum efficiency, power, and focus the moment your event begins.
What? - Short, invigorating, and energising massage to prepare the body for exercise by increasing circulation, waking up muscles, improving range of motion, and releasing tension.
How? - Massage normally given over clothes on back, arms, legs, glutes, shoulders, neck - depending on what you're going to be doing.
Why? - Reduces likelihood of injury, stimulates nervous system, primes body and mind to perform at their absolute peak.
When? - Two hours or less before your activity.
Where? - At my studio, or at your event.
Sessions typically last 30 minutes, including discussion time at the beginning and end, and approximately 15 minutes of massage.
A post-event sports massage is a soothing, slow-paced treatment administered anywhere from 30 minutes to 48 hours after intense physical exertion, focusing entirely on kickstarting your body’s recovery process.
By utilizing soothing, flushing strokes instead of deep pressure, it enhances local blood circulation to rapidly clear out metabolic waste, reduce post-exercise swelling, and soothe the nervous system out of a high-stress "fight-or-flight" state.
Post-massage significantly eases muscle soreness, relieves deep physical tension, and prevents post-workout stiffness, allowing you to return to your regular training routine much faster and with a greatly reduced risk of injury.
What? - Short, relaxing, and regenerative massage to aid recovery from exercise by increasing circulation, releasing tension, soothing, and stretching muscles.
How? - Massage normally given over clothes on back, arms, legs, glutes, shoulders, neck - depending on what exercise you did.
