Our Sports Massage service is designed for both active individuals and athletes alike.  It is intended to assist with the enhancement of physical performance and to accelerate recovery from both chronic and acute conditions.  Using a combination of deep tissue techniques, facilitated stretching, and insights from sports medicine, this treatment focuses on the anatomical specifics of injury and muscle tension.  We target critical areas that are prone to strain and stress during athletic activity and occupational deconditioning.  This treatment will help improve flexibility, reduce pain, and prevent future injuries.  Each session is customized to your specific needs, ensuring that you receive the most effective treatment for your goals.

Our use of Cupping therapy is most commonly administered through a Sports Massage, Sports Acupuncture, or Integrated Sports Therapy Session.  It offers a unique approach to pain relief and muscle relaxation for athletes and active individuals.  Utilizing specialized cups passed on key areas of the body, this classic technique creates a vacuum force that promotes increased blood flow, aids in the removal of metabolic waste, and encourages health of soft tissue.  It is particularly effective for those with deep-seated muscle tension, overuse injury, and chronic pain.  It can help alleviate knots and stiffness, enhance range of motion, and boost overall recovery.  Each application is tailored to the specific needs of each individual.

We use Scraping, also known as Gua Sha, as a therapeutic intervention to enhance circulation, promote tissue repair, and reduce basal muscle tone.  It is commonly administered through a Sports Massage, Sports Acupuncture, or Integrated Sports Therapy Session.  This method involves using a specialized tool to gently scrape the areas of the skin, fostering an increase in blood flow and encouraging the breakdown of scar tissue and adhesion between the muscles and the fascia.  It is particularly beneficial for athletes and active individuals by reducing inflammation, enhancing the recovery time from exercise-induced muscle soreness, and improving gliding articulation between layers of soft tissue.

Our Dry Needling Sports Acupuncture service is a targeted treatment that combines the precision of acupuncture with the science of sports medicine to address specific musculoskeletal issues and enhance athletic performance.  This technique involves the insertion of thin needles into precise points in the muscles, such as common  pressure points or trigger points, to relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve mobility.  Unlike traditional acupuncture, which often focuses on energy pathways, our approach is rooted in understanding the anatomical and neuromuscular elements that impact sports performance and recovery.  This modality is particularly effective for acute and chronic injury or pain due to muscle strain, overuse, force imbalances across joints, and impact.  Each session is specific to the presentation at arrival and the overall treatment plan.

Our Corrective Exercise service is specifically designed to address and rectify muscular imbalances and biomechanical inefficiencies that can lead to injury and decreased performance.  Utilizing a comprehensive approach that combines the insights of sports medicine with targeted exercise techniques, this program focuses on strengthening weak muscles, enhancing joint stability, and improving overall movement patterns.  Each session is customized to meet the unique needs of athletes or hobbyists to correct postural issues, alleviate pain, and optimize physical function for better performance in life and sport.  Over time each client will become educated on the foundational components of pre-habilitation exercise appropriate for their level of training and activity.  Longer-term resistance training block programming is also available.

Stretching is the one thing that almost everyone knows they should do, but don’t have the motivation or training to do correctly and regularly.  Our Sports Stretching service is designed to enhance the full range of motion of joints and improve the health of their articular surfaces.  Tailored specifically to the individual, this program incorporates advanced stretching techniques that target key muscle groups used in various types of activities from daily life to elite sports performance.  By focusing on the anatomical relationships between muscles and joints, our stretching sessions help to alleviate tightness, increase mobility, and support efficient muscle function.  Every client is educated on a  personalized set of stretches to perform individually that will serve as the basis for a habit that will ensure long-term results.

A part of every person’s journey to health, wellness, and athletic achievement is the standardization of nutritional intake.  Most of our clients are building muscle, losing body fat, or optimizing variables for athletic recovery.  Even those of us who are seeking pain solutions need to grow body armor.  You can’t build a house without lumber.   We offer personalized counseling on macronutrient fundamentals, meal preparation and timing, and strategy options that fit each individual’s needs and lifestyle.

Our Athletic Periodization Coaching service is tailored to athletes and dedicated hobbyists who are looking to maximize their performance through structured and scientifically backed training schedules.  This comprehensive coaching program focuses on the strategic planning of workout cycles;  incorporating phases of loading, recovery, and peak performance to optimize gains while minimizing the risk of injury.  We go beyond just scheduling workouts by also advising on effective time management, nutrition, and lifestyle habits that are crucial for athletic success.  Whether you’re preparing for a competition or looking to improve your personal bests, our periodization coaching helps you achieve your goals in a systematic and sustainable way, ensuring every aspect of your training and daily life contributes positively to your athletic development.
