Sports Massage: Sports massage is a form of bodywork geared toward participants in athletics. It is used to help prevent injuries, to prepare the body for athletic activity and maintain it in optimal condition, and to help athletes recover from workouts and injuries. Sports massage has three basic forms: pre-event massage, post-event massage, and maintenance massage.
Neuromuscular Massage: Neuromuscular massage involves treatment to trigger points, which are located in taut bands of muscle fiber bundles. The therapy usually involves the use of ischemic pressure applied to the trigger point so that it releases its tension by resetting the muscle spindles that promote muscle contraction.
We use only hypo-allergenic and organic massage lotions and cremes.
