What To Expect FrOm A Sports Massage
Sessions last 30, or 60 minutes, depending on your needs and areas needing attention.
Includes a variety of methods including effleurage (long, gliding strokes), petrissage (kneading and compression), friction (deep circular movements), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), and stretching. Specific techniques like muscle energy techniques and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching may also be used
Research indicates that sports massage can benefit a wide range of individuals, not just athletes. It has been shown to improve flexibility, enhance recovery after intense physical activity, and potentially reduce the risk of injury2. Studies have demonstrated that sports massage can increase blood flow to muscles, potentially improving performance and reducing muscle soreness4. Evidence also suggests that it may help decrease levels of creatine kinase, a marker of muscle damage, following strenuous activity
