The pre-event athletic massage generally employs various techniques - some vigorous to purge stagnant buildup and toxins and introduce fresh nutrients and oxygen into the tissues; others are for stretching, range of motion and relaxation to help unwind and elongate the muscles to improve flexibility, and encourage the production and viscosity of synovial fluids in the joints. The circulatory, respiratory, digestive and elimination systems are stimulated, enabling the client to enjoy greater clarity of mind, body and spirit and of course, peak performance!
-
The post-event massage aids in recovery after activity using similar techniques in a more gentle way. Toxic buildup of waste products generated by exertion (including lactic acid) is gently compressed out of muscles that are often sore and achy from overexertion, and damaged from micro- (and not-so-micro-) tears in the fibers. Gentle stretching and range of motion exercises encourage muscles to soften, relax and elongate. Improved elimination of metabolic wastes allows the body to heal more rapidly.

Special blends of therapeutic grade essential oils added to the exclusive body butter used in our Sports Massage therapy promotes the body's natural ability to balance, prepare and recover from the tremendous physical exertion involved in participating in this strenuous activity.

A
note to walkers, bikers, hikers, kayakers, scuba divers and other
active folks...
Competitive athletes are not the only
people who can benefit from sports massage. The techniques used in
this modality are beneficial to people who exercise on a regular basis,
beginners or those returning to an activity after a long layoff, those
who are in recovery from an injury or surgery, and people whose professions
or hobbies predispose them to repetitive motion damage (e.g. computer
operators, musicians, hairstylists).
