Sports Massage focuses on soft tissues to reduce pain due to muscle tension, and improve range of motion. 

​

Massage Techniques

Effleurage and Myofascial work warms the muscles and prepares them for deeper strokes and stretches

​

Petrissage - muscle kneading with firmer pressure

​

Stripping muscles is a deep, focused pressure to smooth muscle fibers adhering to other tissues (“knots”).  Deep pressure is used but adjusted to the client’s tolerance.

​

Circular Friction and Trigger Point are additional deep techniques to address sensitive areas

​

Stretching is essential to improve one’s range of motion

​

Tapotement involves tapping or percussion to tone and re-energize the muscles
