Michael’s Sports Massage

Specialties

My work will gives you insight into your body, helping you understand what is causing the issues, and ways to make sure that the issue is dealt with.

I specialize in Sports massage, Deep tissue, and Trigger point therapy.

(Sports Massage) Sports massage is not only for athletes but the everyday person. These types of techniques are meant to work the deep and superficial muscles of the body. As well as help stretch and length the muscles fibers so you will have better explosiveness, reactions, and overall strength.

(Deep tissue) Deep Tissue work is for the deep structural muscles of the body. Theses muscles tend to hold more tension because they are the muscles that are holding you up all the time. Deep tissue has a degree of discomfort because the body doesn’t allow the those muscles to let go because they are always activated.

(Trigger point therapy) Trigger points are also known as knots. A knot in the muscle is when the muscle fibers start to bundle on to each other, like a knot in a string. This work focus on the knot which is in the belly of the muscle. With the right amount of pressure the knot will disengage and allow the whole muscle to relax.

Business Owner

When I was around 13 years old I knew I wanted to be a massage therapist. I worked on friends and family and everyone of them told me I was really good at it. At that age I was just going off of instinct, but I knew that I was helping them and I really enjoyed working on them.

By the time I was in High school, it was cemented in my mind that I would be a massage therapist.

After finishing High school, I traveled to Spain for an archaeological dig for a month and a half. When I came back I got a few odd jobs but nothing really felt good. I went back to school to become a massage therapist. After about 18 months I completed my training and became a licensed massage therapist.

While I was in school I found a love for working with athletes. I grew up playing sports (you name it I’ve played it), so I gravitated to the sports end of the massage field because I was already aware of the types of aliments that come from those types of actives.
