Hand & Stone provides effective and beneficial sports massage in Scottsdale, AZ, for athletes and other active individuals. This treatment is a no-nonsense massage that stretches tight muscles, stimulates inactive muscles, and improves soft tissue condition, allowing busy people to feel better before, during, and after exercise, along with improving their performance.
An athletic massage enables you to move your body more freely with more flexibility, and over time it can also improve your posture. Like the name suggests, sports massage is popular with people who play sports because it can help enhance performance, assist with recovery, and prevents injury. However, these are benefits that even the most casual sports or recreation enthusiasts can enjoy.
Sports Massage vs. Deep Tissue Massage
While there are similarities, there are some differences between a deep tissue massage and sports massage techniques. Sports massage focuses on muscle recovery, healing injuries, and preventing injuries. Deep tissue massage is often administered as a full body massage, while a sports massage may focus on specific body areas that require special attention.
What to Expect from Your First Massage Session
Your massage therapist will perform your treatment in a room furnished with user-controlled sound and lighting, heated tables, crisp linens, and a plush blanket. When you first see us for your massage service, our professionals will consult with you to go over any areas of concern that you want to focus on or avoid and any current conditions that might affect treatment. When you return for future visits, we will ask about any changes and adjust your treatment accordingly to serve you best. Do you have any additional requests or concerns? Just let us know, and we will do our best to accommodate you.
