Optimize Training.  Speed Healing.  Relax.

Tight IT bands and hip joints can cause a domino effect that ends up causing low back pain, and disk problems for men, especially.  

Millions of people around the world play sports and exercise, from the elite professional athlete to the novice just starting a walking program for general health and wellness benefits. ​ What are the benefits of Sports Massage to your conditioning? 

Margaret Jones, Ph.D. of the American College of Sports Medicine, demonstrated in a comprehensive study, a notable trend toward decreased muscle soreness in the athletes who received massage either before or after exercise.

One of the key benefits of Deep Tissue massage therapy compared to other modalities is its ability to target muscle-tendon junctions.

 A 2010 study in the journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that even a 30-second massage improved hip-flexor range of motion.

Connective tissues called fascia, wrap in sheaths around muscles, and tie into ligaments.  

In some places fascia binds to the muscle and gets sticky, adding tension, and reducing training efficiencies.  

Deep tissue and facial work can relieve deeply held muscular occlusions, or "stuck" spots on a muscle band.
