Question 1

What makes your sports massage different from a typical massage in Santa Barbara?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are assessment-driven and performance-focused rather than routine relaxation massages. Movement patterns, tissue quality, and training load are evaluated to create a targeted treatment plan designed to improve recovery, resilience, and performance.

Question 2

Do you offer manual therapy for injuries?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Injury-focused manual therapy may include myofascial release, soft tissue mobilization, neuromuscular techniques, and movement-based integration to support recovery from shoulder pain, low back pain, hip tightness, and plantar fasciitis.

Question 3

What is myofascial release and how does it help?

Accepted Answer

Myofascial release addresses connective tissue restrictions that limit mobility and contribute to pain. Restoring fascial glide improves joint motion, reduces tension, and enhances movement efficiency.

Question 4

Is sports massage only for athletes?

Accepted Answer

No. Sports massage benefits athletes, active individuals, desk workers, and anyone dealing with chronic tension or mobility limitations.

Question 5

How often should I schedule bodywork?

Accepted Answer

Frequency depends on goals and activity level. Competitive athletes may benefit from weekly or biweekly sessions, while general wellness clients often schedule every three to four weeks.

Question 6

Can manual therapy improve athletic performance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Improving tissue mobility, joint mechanics, and nervous system regulation can enhance power output, efficiency, recovery speed, and injury prevention.

Question 7

Do you provide corrective strategies between sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Clients often receive mobility, breathwork, or strength-based recommendations to maintain results between appointments.
