Whether you are an Ironman triathlete or a weekend hiker (and everything in between), sports and physical activity can be taxing on your body. For example, a baseball pitcher can develop shoulder pain and dysfunction from repetitive overhead throwing. A runner can wind up with chronic lower extremity pain and tendinitis issues.  Sports massage can help relax tight muscles, relieve swelling, and improve flexibility. All this can aid in preventing injury and allowing someone to effectively perform whatever sport or physical activity they enjoy.

Sports massage therapy targets the areas of the body that are overworked and strained from repetitive movements and activities that occur in sports and physical activities.  Massage can not only help you recover from an event or activity, but it can also help you prepare for one as you go through your training process. If you want to prevent muscle soreness and tissue injury, massage is the way to go when you want to stay physically active. Northwest Massage Therapy can assist you in achieving your maximum performance level.
