Deep Tissue Massage
and Flexibility

Deep tissue massage is a technique that is used to treat musculoskeletal issues, as sprains and sports injuries. It involves applying sustained pressure, using slow, deep strokes to target the deepest inner layers of muscle and connective tissues. This technique helps reduce tension in the muscles and break up scar tissue that develops after an injury or discomfort from intense training sessions. It may also increase blood flow reducing inflammation to promote faster healing. 

BENEFITS OF DEEP
TISSUE MASSAGE

  • Promotes increased circulation: Deep tissue massage promotes healthy circulation (blood flow to the muscles) to targeted areas, increasing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the muscle tissue. It may also improve energy levels and reduce muscle fatigue.
  • increase flexibility: Systematic deep tissue massage may help muscles stay tension-free and increase the body’s range of motion. This will also help promote better posture, minimize the risk of injury, prevent discomfort during exercise, and help the body move more efficiently.
  • increase mental well-being and reduce stress: Deep tissue massage can increase concentration, performance and overall well being. It can also decrease cortisol, the major stress hormone in the body, increase the production of dopamine and serotonin which are two brain chemicals related to happiness.
  • Reduce soreness during the recovery process: Intense training produces  delayed onset muscle soreness (doms) that typically show up in the body 12 to 24 hours after training sessions. It may even reduce inflammation and improve mitochondrial levels (the cells energy producers).
  • Support better sleep: Sleep is a major factor in exercise recovery by reducing cortisol and muscle tension that allows the body to rebuild and repair lean muscle. Deep tissue massage helps prevent pain and discomfort which can disrupt proper sleep. It can increase the production of serotonin which is the neurotransmitter that acts as a precursor to the production of melatonin, the sleep regulating hormone. As an athlete, including weekly and daily self-massag,e is a great way to enjoy incredible health benefits to reach one’s athletic goals.

Flexibility training will prevent injuries and improve an athlete’s performance.  Our flexibility exercises include Corrective flexibility, Active flexibility, Functional flexibility,y and SMR(Self Myofascial release) exercises. All of our training sessions will start and end with one of these flexibility categories.

Benefits of flexibility
training

  • Reduce injury risk: Flexible muscles and joints will be less prone to sprains, strains, and tears.
  • Enhanced athletic performance: Flexibility training allows for an increased range of motion, smoother movement, and better coordination.
  • Reduced stiffness and pain: Flexibility exercises can alleviate stiffness and pain in the joints and muscles.
  • Stress reduction: Flexibility exercises can reduce stress and anxiety which promotes relaxation.
  • Improved mood: Flexibility exercise will release endorphins which have mood-boosting effects.
  • Improve circulation: Regular flexibility exercises can help promote relaxation which improves sleep quality.
