What is Sports Massage and how does it differ from regular massage?

​

Sports Massage has been the leader in physical preparation and recovery during all levels of competitive sports. Regular massage is used for relaxations and does not correct or reduce a muscular problem. Both modalities offer stress reduction but Sports Massage incorporate techniques superior to regular massage that focus on loosening muscular adhesion thereby increasing the muscle torque required to fire up the action. 

The right sequence of techniques applied with precision and accuracy will optimize the athletes ability to move faster with less risk of injury. In any professional sport, hiring the right therapist can help keep you in the game longer.

How can NFL Athletes benefit from advances Sports Massage?

I have designed a special protocol for wide receivers and running backs incorporating  meticulous applications that help reduce muscle strains by creating pliability and space for proper movement. When muscles are given the freedom to move, all compartments move within harmony. This is also the approach given when there is an injury. I have helped many professional athletes obtain recovery to get them off the bench and back into the field with my full recovery system. In many cases I been able to address kinetic chain issues and imbalances before an injury took place. Physical conditioning is reached by recovery and not by overload, I help you attain recovery so that your body can do more of the work you need to do.

Holistic Sports Rehab

includes a variety of manual therapy interventions to prepare an athlete for competition, enhance performance, and provide remedial applications to help recovery or reduce future injuries. In many sequences of integrated therapy neuroplasticity can be attained. This amazing  response assists in unlearning bad habits and relearning  new habits to reprogram the pathways of pain and healing. All of my NFL Athletes run faster, have less knee issues, less ankle problems and can cut faster once we start them on therapy. Pro Boxers can swing more rapidly and have more stamina with ongoing therapy. NBA athletes can extend, jump, and reach further when their full body is optimized.

Sports Massage Las Vegas & Summerlin

services are available by appointment in LA and Las Vegas. I offer weekly sessions to help your body reach goals that other therapists are not able to deliver. I work in both long term or short term settings to help your body maximize movement potential. If you are booking in LA, I travel for personal work that would require 3 hour commitment which would include three phases of therapy:

Full body postural reset to align kinetic chain misfires, stretch and movement, meticulously applied techniques for soft tissue repair, injury recovery or prevention applications and molding massage offered in a sustained pressure and not deep tissue that hurts.

Myths about Sports Massage Depth

It has to hurt in order to see results.

That is ancient thinking and the industry of massage therapy has evolved much more than ATC and Fitness Coaches understand. I have been delivering successful results for many pro athletes in many fields without forced tension. My therapy is strong enough within a respectful pressure that does not attack the central nervous system. Muscle pliability is obtained through meticulously applied techniques and not force.

​

You Need to Stretch prior to working out or game performance

Again, this is expired information that can be counterproductive because stretching muscles without warming up can strain already shortened muscles.  Activating the muscles is more effective and optimizes by creating space while firing muscle spindles and thereby safely preparing you to run faster without risk of injury.

Rolling IT Band

The IT Band plays a vital role in knee balance. Too much laxity can weaken the knee integrity. Instead roll out the lateral, medial, and anterior quads.
