Orthopedic & Sports Massage treats painful conditions which affect the soft tissues of the body. It focuses on problems with the client's musculoskeletal system where we work to release tight muscles, help to stretch shortened muscles and tendons, and decompress joints. The goal is to normalize the soft tissues of the body, both to treat specific conditions and to keep clients generally healthy and fit. Because orthopedic massage is designed to treat medical conditions, it requires extensive training.
By using various soft tissue manipulation techniques, this massage can alleviate an assortment of painful conditions caused by soft tissue strain. Depending on the client's issue, we may recommend multiple sessions to treat the problem, to ensure that it is eliminated and to build up strength and resistance in the affected area so that the condition does not recur.
Sports Massage focuses on aiding the athlete in maintaining optimal health and wellness. Individualized sessions focus on the primary muscle groups that the professional, amateur and weekend athlete stress during competition and training. Maintenance sports massage facilitates increased range of motion, flexibility and ability for enhanced muscle strengthening and assists in preventing injuries. Remedial and Rehabilitative Sports Massage addresses the healing of soft tissue in the event of minor and major injuries.
