Our sports massage is broken down into four unique techniques to deliver the best results. Effleurage is used superficially at the beginning and end of the massage to sooth the body so that deep effleurage can be used to warm up and stretch the muscle tissue in preparation for deeper massage. Petrissage goes even deeper to stimulate the muscle tissue in a concentration of a small group of muscles or only one muscle. The third step, frictions, are use on those who are about to go through extremely strenuous activities or for those who are injured. The last component of this massage is physical therapy.
