What Is Sports Recovery Therapy?

Sports recovery massage is a specialized form of bodywork designed to meet the unique needs of athletes. Unlike traditional relaxation massage, sports massage focuses on areas of the body that are overused and stressed from repetitive and often aggressive movements.

At Lansing Therapy Center, we understand that different sports stress different muscle groups. A runner's needs are different from a swimmer's or a golfer's. We tailor each session to your specific sport, training schedule, and problem areas.

Our therapists combine techniques including deep tissue work, stretching, compression, and trigger point therapy to help you recover faster, prevent injuries, and maintain peak performance throughout your training cycle.

Techniques Used in Sports Recovery Therapy

Pre-Event
Short, stimulating massage 15-45 minutes before competition to warm up muscles, increase circulation, and prepare your body for peak performance.
Post-Event
Recovery-focused massage within 24-72 hours after competition to reduce muscle soreness, flush metabolic waste, and begin the healing process.
Maintenance
Regular sessions during training to prevent injuries, address chronic tension patterns, and keep your body in optimal condition.
