What is sports massage?

A type of massage that is geared toward lessening the negative impacts of strenuous exercise on your muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissues. A sports massage therapist needs to have a deep understanding of these body parts and how they can benefit from massage therapy. A good session will always consider your unique needs as an athlete.

How can sports massage benefit me and how does it work?

Sports massage is intended for athletes and others with physically-demanding lifestyles. You may have strain or injury from repetitive use, or you may have soreness and stiffness that makes it difficult to recover in between workouts. You might need to improve flexibility or boost your performance. Additionally, massage can help with muscle tension, anxiety, and aches/pains. All these things are great reasons to get a massage!

Sports massage works by increasing blood flow to your muscles and connective tissues, breaking up areas of scar tissue, and promoting healing within your body. Since a massage is calming, it can also help you mentally.

What is the process like?

Generally, you will lie on your back or your stomach on the massage table as your massage therapist works on your main muscle groups. Techniques from deep tissue massage along with gentler soothing strokes. Generally, a session will last for either 60 or 90 minutes.

Absolutely incredible massage! My fiancée had a massage with Layla and said that her muscles just melted away the whole time… I had a massage with Ellen, and had very specific pain points that I wanted to be addressed and she absolutely nailed all of them. Ellen’s incredibly kind, has phenomenal massage technique, and listens to how you react if the pressure is too much or too little. We had wonderful conversation during the massage that made me feel nothing but comfortable. Wish we weren't on vacation so we could go back for another!

New review: 10-25-23 I made a first available appt and was paired up with Mishay. I was having a lot of neck, shoulder and upper back pain from work and needed some relief. She gave me the most amazing massage I’ve ever had! She was so knowledgeable and located all of my pain points plus some that weren’t flaired up. Her pressure was perfect and her technique was outstanding! I felt incredible when I left. I highly recommend her and I will definitely be going back to see her specifically!!

First timer & now it won’t be my last! I don’t typically do massages, but I wanted to try the lymph node massage for my congestion and overall detox health. I booked my friend and I a massage for her 30th, we showed up 15 min late (gave a heads up) they were very accommodating & polite about it. The massage felt amazing, instantly relaxing and cleared my congestion. Easy place to drive by and not pay attention to - but I definitely recommend going inside and checking them out! Nice clean and relaxing place 🙂

Nicole was amazing. Asked if I had any issues and where I thought I needed work. I was able to golf the next day without the back pain I had been experiencing. Best deep tissue massage I've had!!!
