ABOUT THE WORK
Q. What is Sports Massage & Rehabilitation?
It’s clinical, assessment-driven massage built around restoring full function. I combine precise evaluation, tissue-specific techniques, and movement guidance to interrupt pain, accelerate recovery, and return you to better movement. Whether you’re training hard, recovering from injury, or managing pain in daily life, the approach is the same: understand what’s actually going on, treat it directly, and give you the tools to stay ahead of it.
Q. Who is this for?
Athletes, dancers, and active people optimizing performance. Post-op patients and anyone recovering from injury. Anyone managing pain or seeking better movement. If movement matters to you but pain or restriction is getting in the way, this is for you.
Q. How is this different from regular massage?
Regular massage prioritizes relaxation. This prioritizes function. I assess your movement patterns, identify what’s actually driving the problem, treat it, and teach you how to maintain the progress. You leave understanding your body better, not just feeling better in the moment.
SESSIONS & SERVICES
Q. What session lengths are available?
Five options:
Focus (30 min) — $95 — Targeted work on a single area or acute flare-up
Performance (45 min) — $130 — Efficient care between training cycles or for quick recovery tune-ups
Return (60 min) — $180 — The core session, addressing multiple areas and building a plan
Restore (75 min) — $215 — Deeper work on chronic patterns or post-injury care
Comprehensive (90 min) — $275 — Full assessment, detailed treatment, and comprehensive rehabilitation plan
Your first session is typically Return (60 min), Restore (75 min), or Comprehensive (90 min) to allow time for proper assessment.
Q. What about consultations?
A consultation is for anyone who wants to understand what’s going on before committing to a full session. We assess, build a plan together, and figure out next steps. No obligation to book ongoing sessions.
This is especially useful if you’re new to massage therapy, dealing with something complex, or just want to explore your options.
Consultations are available in 30 minute and 45 minute options.
Q. What happens during the first session?
We start by reviewing the intake form you completed, then I ask about your goals, any injuries or conditions, and lifestyle factors affecting how you’re moving. I may perform gentle assessments of posture, range of motion, and movement patterns. Then we move to hands-on work. At the end, we review what you experienced, discuss my findings, and I’ll give you specific movements, stretches, or exercises to practice at home.
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 and active range of motion assessments
Stretching and mobility work
Activation of specific muscles or muscle groups
Exercises or functional movement patterns for home
Everything depends on your goals and what your body actually needs.
Q. Do I have to be fully undressed?
Not at all. Undress to your comfort level. I use draping so only the area being treated is exposed. You’ll receive excellent care regardless.
Q. Will I be undressed for movement work?
On the table, only the treated area is exposed. Off the table, you stay fully clothed. Most off-table movements are subtle enough to do in whatever you wore.
Q. Can we talk during the session?
Absolutely. Speak up if something feels uncomfortable, if you want pressure adjusted, or if you want to focus on a different area. Communication makes the session better.
