Soft Tissue Recovery
Massage by Maya focuses on a specific therapeutic approach based on the specific sports and muscle groups. Regular sport manual work is highly recommended to enhance athletic performance and to prevent prospective soft tissue injury.
Detoxification
The release of byproducts and toxins after strenuous exercises is a normal physiological process accumulating on the muscle fibers and in the interstitial matrix, thus creating painful knots, buildups, and sometimes swelling. Our therapeutic approach is focused towards helping your body remove these toxins efficiently by decreasing DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness).
Every initial sports massage therapy begins with assessment. Depending on your aches, body flexibility and range of motion, soft tissue adhesions, and joint conditions some stretching may be applied. At least a 90-min session is highly recommended for a full body manual work and stretching for optimal muscle recovery. Our conscious assessment and therapeutic approach will help athletes’ improve their muscle endurance and achieve their athletic goals.
