How does Sports massage in Elevate Physiotherapy to be done?

Our well-trained sports massage therapists understand the structure and function of these muscles and can optimize your sports massage experience for your needs. Unlike other sports injury clinics, we will usually do an assessment prior to the session to find out more about your condition. Then you will receive an individualized sports massage designed for your needs. Unlike deep tissue massage that massages your whole body, our experienced therapist will apply this rehabilitative massage to target the specific muscle group which has affected your performance. In the end of sports massage therapy, some advice or exercise tips will be given by our therapist. Like sports physiotherapy, in Elevate Physiotherapy we are pleased to provide complimentary cold pack, heat pack, and ultrasound during your massage session if it’s needed.
