Sports massage isn’t just for professional athletes. It’s for anyone who trains hard, competes, or pushes their physical limits — from marathon runners to casual gym-goers.
At Reiki Massage Metaphysical Healing Service, located in the heart of Olympia, WA, we provide advanced sports massage therapy tailored to the specific needs of active individuals. Whether you’re prepping for a race, recovering from a tough game, or working through lingering soreness, our experienced therapists are here to support your goals.
Why Choose Sports Massage Therapy?
Sports massage techniques go beyond traditional relaxation massage. These sessions focus on addressing key muscle groups stressed by repetitive motion, intense training, or acute injuries. Benefits include:
Increased flexibility and range of motion
Reduced muscle soreness and fatigue
Faster recovery between workouts or competitions
Enhanced athletic performance
Reduced risk of injury through targeted therapy
Our therapists combine deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, and active stretching to optimize your body’s ability to recover and perform.
