Sports Massage focuses on stretching, lengthening, and strengthening the muscles in preparation for sporting events and athletic activities. It is great for before and after strenuous work outs, races, hikes, swims, etc.

The purpose of the massage pre-event is to prepare the athlete for peak performance, promote flexibility, and to prevent injuries. The purpose of the massage post-event is to drain away fatigue, relieve swelling, and reduce muscle tension. Sports Massage can help prevent injuries that so often get in the way of performance and achievement such as an annoying cramp in the shins. Sports Massage reduces the heart rate and blood pressure, increases blood circulation and lymph flow, reduces muscle tension, improves flexibility, and relieves pain. Sports Massage can also include pre-event, post-event and maintenance techniques that promote greater athletic endurance and performance, lessen chances of injury and reduce recovery time. Whether you are cycling an 100 mile race or taking a jog around the block Sports Massage can help you feel better at any level.
