Massage Therapy at Boulder Sports Clinic

Deep tissue massage is ideal for releasing fascia, muscle tension, and stubborn knots. Prolonged inactivity and poor posture often create trigger points or "knots" in the connective tissues. These areas can refer pain to other parts of the body until resolved. Conversely, highly active individuals may experience overuse injuries or tight muscles prone to compensating for lack of joint stability.

Lymphatic massage, also known as manual lymphatic drainage, is a therapeutic technique that encourages the natural drainage of the lymph, which helps in recovering post injury and decrease tissue swelling.  This type of massage uses light pressure and rhythmic, circular motions to stimulate the lymphatic system, reduce swelling, improve circulation, and enhance the body’s immune function. It is often used to relieve conditions like lymphedema, promote healing after surgery, and boost overall wellness.

Prenatal massage therapy targets expecting mothers. According to the American Pregnancy Association, women can safely begin massage at any point during pregnancy. Prenatal massage reduces swelling by stimulating circulation, targeting soft tissues in the extremities and joints to alleviate pressure. This massage can also reduce pregnancy-related pains such as lower back pain, SI joint inflammation, facet syndrome, and sciatica.

Cupping therapy uses suction cups to improve blood circulation to the targeted area. This method relieves muscle tension, decreases fascial adhesions, enhances range of motion, and promotes overall blood flow and cellular repair. Our therapists utilize modern suction methods, creating a vacuum seal with a pump. Cupping is used to enhance relaxation, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and support healing. It may be applied for a variety of conditions such as chronic pain, muscle tightness, or to rejuvenate the skin by increasing collagen production and reducing the appearance of cellulite.

Massage therapy is incredibly beneficial after a car accident. Tightness and muscle spasms can severely limit your ability to move and function normally. Our experienced therapists specialize in working with car accident victims, helping to eliminate pain and spasms.

CBD is known for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, which can help reduce muscle tension, alleviate chronic pain, and calm inflamed areas. In a massage setting, CBD oil is absorbed through the skin, promoting deep relaxation, reducing stress, and improving overall well-being. Its benefits also include enhancing circulation, soothing anxiety, and potentially speeding up recovery from injuries or workouts.
