After an initial consultation to set your goals, each session begins with muscle assessment. Working to target stressed muscles, the therapist may use kinesiology tape and/or cupping to reduce pain and inflammation. Myofascial release, active/passive release and neuromuscular therapy techniques may also be applied to target specific muscles, knots and adhesions. A special blend of jojoba and tiger balm liniment, formulated specifically for athletes to help relieve sore muscles and enhance energy levels, may be added at your request.
Glidding cupping, helps soften muscle tissue and fascia, allow the massage therapist to work deeper.
With cupping, suction and negative pressure can loosen muscles and fascia, encourage blood flow, and sedate the nervous system. Cupping may relieve back and neck pain, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraines, rheumatism, and even cellulite. There are two methods of cupping: static cupping and dynamic cupping. For more information on cupping, check out my blog post.
Gua Sha, or “blading”, the massage therapist will use a comb like dull blade to massage and treat trigger points and hard knots in muscles. This method is useful for hard to hit knots.
Sports Massage session may also include cold therapy, heat therapy and assisted stretching to alleviate acute pain and soothe stressed muscles. Speak with your massage therapist before and during a sports massage to determine what works best for your massage treatment plan.
