MASSAGE IN BOZEMAN

Sports Massage is based on principles of classical Swedish massage incorporating techniques of: compression, trigger point therapy, and cross fiber friction. The main purpose of sports massage therapy is to help alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissues during physical activity. Sports massage helps to prepare an athlete for peak performance, drain away fatigue, relieve swelling, reduce muscle tension, promote flexibility and prevent injuries.

The ordinary aches and pains of pregnancy are countered by the release of serotonin during massage. Fatigue, backaches, leg cramps and swelling/edema can all be relieved through various types of massage for pregnant women. Headaches can be relieved during your pre-natal massage and maintaining optimal levels of stress relief can help reduce the chances of migraines or tension headaches. Using relaxing trigger points and encouraging blood flow to the afflicted areas helps ease muscle spasms and muscle tension created by your changing body. Pre-natal massage helps provide more nutrient-rich oxygen in your body and increases the flow of lymphatic fluid, which sweeps away toxins and metabolic waste.
