Assessment-First Approach
Your first visit includes movement history, pain patterns, and range-of-motion checks. We align treatment to your goals—pain relief, mobility, or performance—then measure outcomes session to session. For massage types, see Sports Massage and Deep Tissue. Explore all options on Massage Services.
Techniques That Work for Athletes
- Deep tissue and myofascial release for stubborn adhesions
- Trigger point therapy for referral pain
- Joint mobilizations for range of motion
- Pre‑event and post‑event sports massage sequencing
- Home care: mobility drills, breath work, and heat/ice guidance
Pair lower‑leg work with Reflexology when foot or calf fatigue limits performance. For high stress loads, integrate Stress Relief Massage.
Return-to-Play Planning
We set a short series (e.g., once weekly for 2–3 weeks) to stabilize pain, then taper to maintenance. Training loads and sleep drive recovery—your RMT will adjust cadence and intensity accordingly.
Programming: Off-Season vs. In-Season
Off-Season
- Corrective focus for asymmetries and chronic tightness
- Longer sessions for comprehensive tissue work
- Strength + mobility emphasis between visits
In-Season
- Shorter, targeted sessions to keep you training
- Pre‑event priming and post‑event recovery routines
- Load management and schedule-aware planning
