Recover Faster. Perform Better. Prevent Injury.
Whether you're a professional athlete, weekend warrior, or someone who simply loves to stay active, sports massage therapy can be a powerful tool in enhancing performance, speeding recovery, and reducing the risk of injury. At Asheville Medical Massage, our licensed therapists specialize in clinical sports massage techniques that are tailored to your specific activity, goals, and physical condition.
WHAT IS SPORTS MASSAGE?
Targeted Treatment for Active Bodies
Sports massage is a focused, therapeutic style of bodywork designed to address the unique needs of athletes and active individuals. It blends techniques from deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release to reduce muscle tension, increase flexibility, and improve overall function.
WHAT MAKES SPORTS MASSAGE THERAPY DIFFERENT?
Unlike relaxation massage, sports massage is goal-oriented. Whether you’re dealing with tight hamstrings, repetitive use injuries, or prepping for an upcoming race, we’ll create a customized session that supports your performance and recovery.
