A big part of the body therapies we offer at Keystone is Sports Massage. Sports massage is for anyone participating in exercise and sporting activities, from professional athletes to recreational runners and even golfers. Sports massage uses techniques like effleurage stroking , petrissage kneading , tapotement rhythmic striking , gliding, stretching, vibration, percussion, and trigger point therapy to help athletes train harder and recover faster.
The primary difference between a Sports Massage and our Deep Tissue Massage is exactly how it sounds. A deep tissue massage focuses the work on the tissue above the muscles, but not the muscles themselves.
A Sports Massage manipulates the soft tissue β muscle. At Keystone, we incorporate both, depending on the type of therapy based on your individual needs and circumstances. In order to maximize your sports training, prevent injury, improve recovery, and even rehabilitate injuries, a good Sports Massage at Keystone Body Therapies is the prescription for success. Our certified trainers have the experience and extra training required to provide you with a safe and efficient massage.

This increases performance, limit pain, avoid injury, and speed up recovery. A sure sign of needing this therapy immediately is injury major or minor during your training or event, including any of the following:. The benefits of a good Sports Massage include a decreased likelihood of injuries because the tissue is healthier and lengthened.
Increased performance in sports is another significant benefit because the muscles and tissues are able to receive nutrients, oxygen, and blood much faster after massage. Finally, Sports Massage also provides quicker rehab from injuries. Like other massage therapies, sports massage provides an increased range of motion and flexibility, helps prevent or heal pain in your joints from exercise.
