SPORTS MASSAGE

Recovery from Injuries and Overuse

Results and Science Informed

Sports Massage

Sports Massage at Alchemy brings in a holistic view of bodywork. Following some of the most successful bodywork models, we focus on three things: the individual musculature that you use in your sport, the relationship between them and your movement, and your individual training regimen.  We utilize some orthopedic and osteopathic assessment techniques that may help isolate your issue to one muscle or muscle group and then we look at the entire kinetic chain, to see where else there may be fascial restriction, or a muscle that is being affected away from the initial site of complaint.  After addressing the specific muscular issues, we look at what elements of your movement have been affected by the sports massage.

A variety of individual techniques can be used in each each session as needed to address your individual need.
Some of the techniques employed are:
  • Stretching and Flexibility Conditioning
  • Trigger Point Techniques
  • Strain/Counterstrain
  • Myofascial Release
  • PNF / MET / NMT
  • Friction
  • Deep Tissue Techniques
  • Ice Massage

Timing is important in Sports Massage

Four phases during which different techniques will be used:
  • Pre-Event Massage - from 48 to 72 hours before the athletic experience.
  • Post-Event Massage -immediately after the event to 72 hours after.
  • Maintenance / Conditioning - preparing for an event or keeping your body in shape.
  • Rehabilitation / Injury Management - after an injury, or getting you back into condition after down time.

Sports massage is not for everyone and we are happy to discuss your needs more completely to help you discern your best choices. Feel free to give us a call, or schedule a session with Sabrina to experience the process.

"To some, the phrase ‘Sports Massage’ means a massage that is faster and deeper, even to the point of pain and discomfort. Nothing could be farther from the truth."
