What is Sports Massage Therapy?

 

Deep massage to alleviate discomfort and tightness within the body's soft tissues; muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue. This can be caused by anything from poor posture, repetitive daily stressors, or chronic sporting injuries. ​

​

How Does Sports Massage Therapy Work?

​

Sports Massage Therapy works on your body's relaxation and mechanical response:

​

Relaxation response: During a massage, changes in your parasympathetic nervous system occur; your breathing and heart rate slow, your muscles begin to relax, and your blood pressure decreases: serotonin is released, increasing positive mood and thoughts.

Mechanical response: Massage increases circulation (lymph and blood) and relaxes tissue: improved circulation can decrease swelling and inflammation in soft tissue; as muscle tissue relaxes, muscle contractions and spasms are decreased; an increase in circulation and relaxation of muscle tissue decrease pain. This promotes healing and recovery!
