Orthopedic Massage in Santa Barbara

Schwartz Sports Massage offers orthopedic massage in Santa Barbara, CA — a clinical, assessment-based approach to treating musculoskeletal pain, restricted movement, and soft-tissue injury. Rather than a generic relaxation session, orthopedic massage begins with an evaluation of how you move, where you're compensating, and which structures are driving your pain, so treatment can target the actual cause rather than just the sore spot.

​

This approach is well suited for people dealing with chronic joint or muscle pain, post-injury stiffness, repetitive strain from sport or work, or movement restrictions that haven't resolved with rest alone. Sessions may combine deep tissue work, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and joint-focused techniques depending on what your assessment reveals.

​

Orthopedic massage is also a great fit for runners in Santa Barbara managing overuse injuries from training. We regularly treat runner-specific issues such as IT band syndrome, plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and chronic calf or hamstring tightness that build up during marathon and half-marathon training blocks, helping you recover between hard efforts and reduce the risk of re-injury.

​

Amanda Schwartz brings a clinical, evidence-informed background to every session, with training through the Jones Institute for Strain Counterstrain and the Barral Institute in Visceral Manipulation, along with a Health and Human Sciences degree from USC. That combination of academic training in human movement and hands-on manual therapy experience shapes how she approaches every orthopedic case.
