Sports injuries disrupt training, affect performance, and create compensating movement patterns that cause secondary problems elsewhere. Whether it's a muscle strain, soft tissue injury, or post-surgery rehabilitation, the surrounding muscles tighten as a protective response — and that guarding often outlasts the original injury, slowing return to full function.
Massage for sports injury works primarily on the compensating muscles and surrounding tissue rather than directly on acute injury sites. Releasing the muscles that tighten in response to injury reduces pain, improves local circulation, and allows earlier return to movement. As healing progresses, we progressively address the injured area to restore tissue quality.
Our therapists recommend these massage types for massage for sports injury recovery
Walk out feeling taller, looser, and more flexible.
Why it helps: Thai massage maintains flexibility and circulation in the kinetic chain surrounding an injury, preventing the secondary tightness from compensating movement. In later recovery, gentle stretching restores range of motion.
Release tension through targeted pressure point therapy.
Why it helps: Shiatsu's targeted pressure is precise enough to work around an injury site — addressing compensating muscles without aggravating the injured tissue.
Drift into deep relaxation and sleep better tonight.
Why it helps: During early recovery, gentle Aroma massage maintains circulation and reduces the psychological stress of injury — which itself impairs healing through cortisol elevation.
