Sports Massage
Sports massages are similar to deep-tissue massages, but they zero in on the muscles that take a beating when you play sports or do another repetitive physical activity. Athletes and dancers use their bodies differently than the average person. As a result, they may often experience soreness and tight muscles. Our experienced massage therapists in sports massage can get in there to break up muscle tightness and address sports injuries.

Massage Therapy reduces stress and anxiety.
That feeling of calm after a massage can aid in reducing stress and anxiety. Your body has two nervous systems: a sympathetic nervous system that drives your “fight or flight” response in stressful situations and a parasympathetic nervous system that focuses on routine and day-to-day operations that lead to relaxation and rest. A massage can increase your parasympathetic response, which can decrease feelings of anxiety.
Massage Therapy lessens pain and muscle tension.
A variety of studies have looked into how massage may help lessen pain like acute back pain, neck pain, headaches and knee pain. The results show that relief may be short-term, rather than long-term. In some cases, receiving a 60-minute massage multiple times per week had better results than fewer or shorter massages.
