Sports
Massage
Focused massage for active bodies, repetitive movement and areas carrying muscular tension.
Sports Massage at Kneaded Relief Massage & Spa combines targeted massage techniques with personalized pressure and focused work on the muscle groups most affected by training, activity, work or repetitive movement.
What Is Sports Massage?
Targeted massage designed around the demands placed on active muscles and movement patterns.
Sports Massage focuses on muscles and soft tissues that may be carrying tension from activity, training, repetitive movement or physically demanding work.
Your session may concentrate on one or several areas rather than following a general relaxation-massage routine.
Depending on your goals, your Massage Therapist may use focused pressure, compression, broad massage strokes and targeted hands-on techniques to work through areas of muscular tightness.
You do not need to be a competitive athlete to choose Sports Massage. It can be appropriate for recreational athletes, active adults and people whose work places repeated physical demands on the body.
Not Just for Competitive Athletes
Sports Massage can be useful for anyone whose exercise, recreation, occupation or routine places repeated demands on specific muscle groups.

Who Is Sports Massage For?
Sports Massage is for more than athletes. It is designed for people whose bodies are regularly challenged by exercise, activity or repetitive movement.
The focus of the session can change depending on what you do and which areas are carrying the greatest amount of muscular tension.
Some clients choose Sports Massage around exercise or recreational activity, while others use it as part of their ongoing wellness routine.
