Why Consider Sports Massage in Vancouver?
A sports massage session with one of our Registered Massage Therapists at West End Wellness can assist you. A sports massage targets the deeper layers of tissue to alleviate muscle tension. There are benefits associated with a deep tissue massage, including:
Relieve Stiffness: Overused muscles can become stiff and hypertonic, limiting your range of motion. Our sports massages target these issues, helping you move more freely.
Boost Performance: Stressed muscles become oxygen-deprived, impacting your endurance. We'll improve circulation, enhancing your overall capacity.
Mental Rejuvenation: Intense training can lead to mental exhaustion. Our sports massages don't just tackle physical strain – they help you relax mentally too, improving recovery and sleep quality.
Each treatment will also aid in injury recovery and, with time, correct the even poor posture that might have been a cause of the injury in the first place. If you suffer from any of these:
Back or knee pain or stiffness
Neck or shoulder pain or stiffness
Wrist or elbow pain
Stiffness and poor joint mobility
Tense or painful muscles
Jaw problems
Headaches
Fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome
Chronic pain from a sports injury
