Sport massage is designed around the physical demands of training, competition and recovery
Treatment is tailored to your sport, training schedule and goals, whether you are preparing for competition, recovering after an event or managing the demands of a season.
Sport massage is more than simply applying deeper pressure. Treatment techniques, intensity and timing can vary depending on whether you are preparing for an event, recovering between competitions, managing training demands or recovering after performance. Techniques may include deep tissue and soft tissue work, stretching, joint mobilizations and other approaches selected according to the athlete's needs and stage of training or competition.
The goals, pressure and duration of treatment vary with your stage of training and competition.
PRE-EVENT MASSAGE
Designed to help prepare the athlete for competition. Treatment is generally shorter and adapted to the athlete, sport and upcoming activity, with the goal of preparing the body without leaving the athlete feeling overly relaxed or fatigued.
INTER-EVENT MASSAGE
Used between events, games, heats or stages of competition. Treatment is focused on the athlete's immediate needs, helping them recover from the previous effort while preparing for their next performance.
POST-EVENT MASSAGE
Provided after competition or intense activity as part of the recovery process. Treatment can focus on reducing muscular tension, promoting relaxation and helping the athlete transition from competition into recovery.
TRAINING & RESTORATIVE MASSAGE
Integrated into an athlete's regular training and recovery schedule. Treatment can address areas of muscular tension and restriction, support recovery from training demands and help maintain mobility and physical readiness throughout the season.
Deep tissue massage uses focused hands-on techniques to address areas of muscular tension, tightness and soft tissue restriction. Pressure and techniques are adjusted to the individual rather than simply applying deeper pressure throughout the treatment.
MUSCLE TENSION & RESTRICTION
Focused treatment can address areas of persistent muscular tension, tightness and soft tissue restriction that may affect comfort and movement.
TRAINING & ACTIVITY DEMANDS
Deep tissue techniques may be incorporated into treatment for muscular tension or soreness associated with training, exercise, repetitive activity and increased physical demands.
MOBILITY & MOVEMENT
Treatment may combine deep tissue and soft tissue techniques with stretching, joint mobilizations and other approaches to address restrictions that may affect mobility, movement and physical activity.
INDIVIDUALIZED PRESSURE
Deep tissue massage does not have to mean maximum pressure. The depth, technique and intensity of treatment should be appropriate for your body, goals and tolerance.
Our team brings experience with recreational, university, national, international and Olympic-level athletes to preparation, recovery and ongoing care.
FROM RECREATIONAL TO ELITE SPORT
Whether you train a few times a week, compete at the university level or perform internationally, sport massage should reflect the demands of your sport, training schedule and level of competition.
UNDERSTANDING THE DEMANDS OF SPORT
Different sports place different demands on the body. Treatment considers the movements, training loads, competition schedules and physical requirements associated with your activity rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
EXPERIENCE ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE
Momentum's team brings experience from high-performance sport environments including national teams, international multi-sport Games and Olympic-level competition. That experience influences how we approach preparation, recovery and ongoing athlete care
