Sports massage is a type of massage specifically designed to help athletes and those with physically active lifestyles maintain and improve their performance. It is also perfect for addressing acute and chronic injuries. Sports massage utilizes techniques to improve circulation, reduce stress, and improve range of motion and flexibility. Methods include deep tissue work, manual therapy, fascial stretch/release techniques, joint mobilizations and more. Relaxation massage is a type of massage that focuses more on overall relaxation rather than specific areas of the body. It is intended to reduce stress and help the recipient feel relaxed and at ease. This is your typical 'spa' massage.
