Sports Massage is a specialized Massage Therapy designed to enhance athletic performance, aid in injury recovery, and improve overall muscle function. It utilizes techniques like specialized tissue massage, stretching, and compression to address the specific needs of individuals involved in physical activity. This type of massage targets areas of the body experiencing stress and tension from repetitive movements or high exertion. In addition, Sports Massage is not a one-shot, but, rather, done over a series of sessions each with their own specific set of "Massage Rules" for the person(s) being massaged.
Nothing else screams "Sports" like the Olympics.

Another benefit of Beth Ann's Therapeutic Massage Sports Massage is Kinesio Taping tailored to the individual needs and requirements. Kinesio taping (or Kinesiology Taping) is a rehabilitative taping technique using specially designed (different formulations based on manufacturer) tape to support muscles and joints, reduce pain and inflammation, and facilitate the body's natural healing process. The tape mimics the elasticity of skin and allows for full range of motion.
How it works:
- The tape is designed to provide support to muscles without restricting movement, allowing them to continue working and facilitating the healing process.
- Kinesio tape can also stimulate nerves in the skin, which can help to reduce pain signals and improve muscle function.
Benefits:
- Kinesio tape can help to reduce pain associated with various conditions, including muscle soreness, joint pain, and nerve pain.
- The tape's elasticity allows for a full range of motion, which can be beneficial for athletes and people recovering from injuries.
- Kinesio tape can help to re-educate muscles and improve their function, especially after an injury or overuse.
- The tape can provide support to muscles and joints during activity, helping to prevent further injury and promote healing.
- By lifting the skin, the tape can improve circulation and reduce swelling.
When to use it:
- Kinesio tape can be used to support muscles and joints after an injury, helping to promote healing and reduce pain.
- The tape can be used to stimulate specific muscles, helping to improve their function and reduce pain.
- Kinesio tape can help to reduce swelling and inflammation, as well as relieve pain associated with lymphedema.
- The tape can help to provide support and reduce inflammation, which can help to prevent arthritic flares.
- As your required by your Massage Therapist to enhance the outcomes of the Massage
We always test your skin prior to application, as some people have reactions to some tapes, which is why we use various tape types.
