Sports Massage
Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and can help extend an athletes career by helping to prevent injury, reduces pain and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body’s natural immune function.
These sessions are designed to address specific muscle groups, injuries and muscle imbalances related to your sport.

What is Fascia?
Fascia is the connective tissue system of the body that penetrates through and wraps around muscles, nerves, organs and just about everything else in your body.
Why Stretch fascia not muscle?
Fascia surrounds each muscle, connects them to each other and penetrates deep inside of them. It also connects muscles to tendons, ligaments and bone to form a body wide, smart functional network. Fascia connects to all your organs and systems too.
Fascial Stretch Therapy takes place on a massage table, with the client dressed in comfortable exercise clothes. Using stabilizing straps to isolate one side at a time and provide support. The use of traction, the practitioner's body weight as leverage, and modified PNF (client-assisted stretching) to increase range of motion and flexibility by the end of a full body session. It releases tension and breaks up the adhesion’s in the fascia, freeing up movement in the ligaments, tendons and muscles.
