The Washington Sports Massage is a non-profit professional organization. Our purpose is to increase awareness of the benefits of sports massage therapy. We provide massage at many sport events around Washington State. Many of our events are marathons and bicycle events.
Athletes can suffer from cramps and repetitive stress injuries. A trained sports massage therapist can isolate problems in the musculature and help an athlete have a shorter recovery time after an event. Athletes who seek massage therapy on a regular basis have found their recovery times and frequency and severity of injuries to have been significantly decreased. In short, sports massage decreases pain in overworked areas, enhances an athletes’ training routine, shortens recovery time and enhances athletic performance by helping to stretch and strengthen muscle fibers.
