Q. What is Sport Massage & Rehabilitation?
It’s clinical, orthopedic massage built specifically around athletic and performance demands: precise assessment, targeted techniques, and a plan aimed at restoring full function, not just relaxation. Sessions may include movement work: manipulations aimed at assessing and treating range of motion issues and collaborative activation of specific muscle groups.
Q. What happens during the first visit?
Your first session is about understanding you and your body. We’ll start by reviewing the forms you filled out ahead of time, then I’ll ask questions about your goals for massage, any conditions or injuries, and lifestyle factors that may be affecting how you’re feeling. I may perform gentle assessments to better understand your posture, range of motion, and movement patterns. After that, we move to hands-on table work. At the end, we’ll review what you experienced, discuss my findings, and I may provide movements, stretches or exercises you can practice at home to support your progress.
Q. Do I have to get fully undressed?
Not at all. You can undress to your comfort level, from fully clothed to partially undraped. I use draping on the table so only the area being treated is exposed. You’ll receive excellent care regardless of what you choose to wear.
Q. What kind of movement work will we do?
Movement work is tailored to you and may happen both on the table and off. It could include:
-Passive ROM assessments
-Stretching
-Activation of specific muscles/muscle groups
-Exercises, stretches or functional movement patterns to do as homework.
The approach always depends on your therapeutic goals and your individual lifestyle.
Q. Will I be undressed for the movement work?
On the table, only the area being treated will be exposed, using a drape.
Off the table, you’ll remain fully clothed. For exercises involving more active movement or range of motion, I may suggest wearing loose, comfortable clothing, though most off-table movements are subtle enough to do in the clothes you came in with
Q. ARe We Able to Talk during the session?
Absolutely! Please speak up if something feels uncomfortable, if you want me to adjust pressure, change a technique, or focus on a different area. Communication ensures you get the most from your session.
