At Northwest Spine and Sport, massage therapy is an integral part of our comprehensive approach to care. We seamlessly incorporate massage therapy into our chiropractic care, physical therapy, and sports rehab programs to enhance recovery, reduce pain, and improve overall performance.
Our licensed massage therapists work alongside our providers to deliver evidence-based, hands-on treatment that supports mobility, flexibility, and long-term musculoskeletal health. Whether you are recovering from an injury, managing chronic tension, or striving to improve athletic performance, massage therapy plays a valuable role in your treatment plan.
Sports Massage
Our sports massage services are designed for athletes and active individuals of all levels. This deep tissue–focused therapy can be performed before or after training sessions, competitions, or intense physical activity.
Sports massage supports:
Muscle recovery after workouts or games
Reduction of muscle tightness and soreness
Improved flexibility and range of motion
Maintenance of healthy connective tissue
By addressing soft tissue restrictions and muscular imbalances, sports massage helps you stay mobile, resilient, and prepared for the demands of training and competition. It also pairs effectively with chiropractic adjustments and rehabilitation exercises to support long-term performance goals.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is a safe, hands-on technique that targets tight fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles and joints. Using sustained, gentle pressure, this approach helps reduce tension, ease discomfort, and restore functional movement.
Myofascial release is especially beneficial for individuals experiencing:
Sports-related injuries
Postural strain
Chronic muscle tension
Movement restrictions
When combined with chiropractic care and physical therapy, myofascial release helps improve tissue mobility and supports a more complete recovery process.
