Why Get a Sports Massage?

Rigorous workouts create a need for proper muscle function and relaxed movement. With medical advances and scientific breakthroughs, sports medicine is easily accessible for the average person who strength trains and tones. The highly advanced therapy of sports massage is essential to maintaining muscle flexibility and range of motion.

Therapeutic massage facilitates the rebuilding phase of conditioning and speeds recovery from stresses of strenuous exercise. The physiological benefits of sports massage lead to removal of waste products and better cell nutrition, improved tissue elasticity, deactivation of trigger points and faster healing of injuries. Celeste Cruz brings an intuitive sense into the psychological advantages of massage. Her sports massage clients consistently experience heightened mind-body awareness, reduced levels of anxiety and relaxed states of mental alertness and creativity.

Sports Massage Techniques

Sports Massage techniques require familiarity with each muscle, muscle groups and how they are affected by distinct movements and stresses of each sport. After an initial consultation with Celeste, she determines a massage regimen for the particular stresses and sports specific movements of each individual.

This highly recommended Orlando massage therapist will use any of the following techniques to complement her clients’ training program:

Compression massage – Generally used as a softening effect on the tissues and warm-up for deeper massage work

Cross-Fiber Massage – Deep transverse friction techniques applied to adhesions or large muscle groups for stretching and broadening, creating strong flexible repair during the healing process

Trigger Point/Tender Point Massage – Reducing hypersensitivity, muscle spasms and pain patterns, by combining specific finger and thumb pressure in muscle and connective tissue

Lymphatic Massage – Stimulation of lymphatic drainage pathways, improving removal of edemas and effusion.
