Sports Massage in Colorado Springs

Benefits of Sports Massage

• Enhance Performance and Prevent Injuries: Our sports massage therapists use a combination of techniques to improve athletic performance and reduce the risk of injury. Through dynamic stretching during pre-activity sessions, we help your connective tissue move through its full range of motion, minimizing the chances of strains and sprains.
• Speed Up Recovery: Post-activity sports massage focuses on recovering muscle tissue that has been stressed during athletic activities. This may involve deep tissue massage, friction, stretching, and trigger point therapy. Our goal is to facilitate faster recovery so you can get back to your routine with less downtime.
• Relieve Pain and Reduce Fatigue: At Massage Heights Briargate, we aim to alleviate pain and reduce fatigue. Sports massage helps to relieve muscular tension, improves blood flow, and aids in the elimination of metabolic waste, allowing athletes to feel rejuvenated and ready for the next challenge.

Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting out, sports massage can be a valuable tool in your training routine. Let our experienced massage  therapists help you reach your fitness goals and LIVE.LIFE.BETTER.® in beautiful Colorado Springs.

Sports Massage vs. Deep Tissue Massage

While both techniques can be beneficial, they serve different purposes:

• Sports Massage: Tailored specifically for athletes, focusing on enhancing performance, preventing injuries, and promoting recovery.
• Deep Tissue Massage: Aimed at alleviating chronic muscle tension and breaking down adhesions in deeper layers of muscle tissue.

Both types of massages share some overlap in techniques, but sports massage includes specific methods such as dynamic stretching and trigger point therapy, which are particularly beneficial for athletes.
