What Is Sports Massage Therapy?
Sports massage is a targeted, therapeutic style of massage that helps address tension, soreness, and tightness resulting from physical activity. It can:
Reduce inflammation
Improve range of motion
Prevent injury
Enhance muscle recovery
Boost circulation
Unlike relaxation massage, this is a more focused and deep technique that gets into the tissues and structures that matter most for movement, strength, and mobility.
Who Benefits from Sports Massage?
Our athletic massage in Edmonton is ideal for:
Runners, cyclists, weightlifters, and CrossFit athletes
Weekend warriors and recreational athletes
People recovering from injuries or surgery
Desk workers with chronic tightness or poor posture
Sports massage isn’t just for athletes—it’s for anyone who needs focused, results-driven bodywork
Deep Tissue Sports Massage – That Works
Strive Holistic’s deep tissue sports massage near me targets the deeper layers of muscle and fascia, releasing chronic tension and breaking up adhesions that limit mobility and performance.
Each session may also include complimentary:
Cupping therapy to reduce muscle tension and boost circulation
Graston therapy to break down scar tissue and improve mobility
These tools are integrated at no extra cost as part of your customized treatment plan.
