Sports Massage
in Vancouver

Sports massage prioritizes movement quality, tissue resilience, and recovery time. Unlike general relaxation work, it accounts for the specific demands of your sport: which muscles fatigue, which patterns get overused, what's likely to fail under load.

Treatment is informed by kinesiology rather than generic protocols. We work from how you actually move: a sprinter's hamstrings, a climber's grip pattern, a yogi's capsular load, rather than a one-size-fits-all routine.

• – Recreational and competitive athletes preparing for events
• – Runners with calf, IT band, plantar fascia, or hip flexor issues
• – Climbers and lifters managing shoulder, forearm, and grip overuse
• – Yoga, dance, gymnastics: high-mobility athletes managing capsular stress
• – Post-injury rehab once medical clearance allows soft-tissue work
• – Anyone returning to sport after time off and rebuilding capacity
• – Recreational athletes whose desk job is undoing their training

Expect functional assessment: squats, single-leg balance, shoulder range, depending on relevance. Treatment combines deep tissue, joint mobilization, PNF stretching, and instrument-assisted soft-tissue work where appropriate.

Pre-event work is shorter and more activation-focused. Post-event focuses on recovery and flushing. Mid-training maintenance is the most common: deeper, more diagnostic, and paired with homework.

Every athletic client leaves with specific drills, stretches, or load-management strategies tailored to their next training block.
