Some of you may wonder, “what is sports massage, and what makes it different from deep tissue massage?” Allow me to shed some light on the subject; sports massage tends to focus more on muscle-specific areas of concern or the areas where repetitive use from your activity comes in. We tailor sports massage sessions to focus on the areas you most engage in and where those repetitive movements come from.
Whether you are a professional athlete, sports player, competitive runner, bodybuilder, or just someone with a passion for fitness, or if you spend a marathon of time chained to your desk, sports massage can be just the right treatment for you.
Sports massage is great for preventing injuries and reducing the potential for strains, sprains, and unhealthy muscle tears. At Elevation Massage and Spa, our team has a myriad of techniques and tools at our disposal to aid you in your sports/rehab journey. A typical sports massage session with us incorporates the following:
Sports massage involves rehab techniques combined with deep pressure; they generally are not relaxing and are more painful because of the nature of the techniques being applied. Usually, sports massages focus on 2-3 areas of concern versus the whole body. In comparison, deep tissue massages are more encompassing. They are meant to be more relaxing and soothing while focusing on tight areas/areas of concern and reducing pain and tension.
As always, Elevation Massage and Spa sessions are about you and your needs; we tailor every session around your concerns and try to elevate your healing outcome to a whole new level. See you on the table
