Prior to an athletic event, sports massage may be used with stretching in order to help athletes to loosen, warm and prepare their muscles so that their performance and endurance might be enhanced. Following an athletic event, massage may be used to relieve pain, prevent stiffness, and return the muscles back to their normal state. Sports massage may also be used for injury rehabilitation.

Feeling Better provides athletic massage therapy for those who enjoy sports. We hire professionals who know the body’s anatomy to ensure your safety. They know how to ease muscle tension and improve your sense of well-being.

Many people who play sports have endured the pain and agony of an injury. They pull a muscle or over-extend it. Athletes rely on their body to perfectly operate during a game, but some don’t do proper stretching and training to avoid injuries. Each massage therapist at Feeling Better can prevent further damage to your muscles by applying the appropriate amount of pressure.

A few examples of sports massage are barefoot massage, deep tissues massage and trigger point therapy. These methods concentrates on the body parts that you use the most while you play. You are constantly straining your feet while you run. During basketball or football, you overuse the same muscles while passing or shooting. In soccer, your leg muscles are surely getting a workout.
