Massage Therapy


A necessity, not just a luxury

 

Massage therapy is a critical aspect of achieving your health goals, not simply an indulgence as some may think. It is an effective soft tissue technique that promotes healing, pain relief, stress reduction, improved circulation, and muscle release. At Performance, our highly specialized massage therapists use clinical evidence to curate your session and address your needs.

Key Benefits

Pain & Injury

Medical massages address specific injuries and medical conditions to alleviate pain, promote recovery, decrease inflammation, relieve compressed nerves, and more.

Athletic Recovery

Massage therapy is beneficial for athletes who require therapy focused on the areas of the body that are overused and stressed during training and exercise.

Mental Health

Not only do massages decrease the stress hormone cortisol, but they increase levels of serotonin and dopamine, lifting your mood and improving sleep quality.

Enhanced Performance

A massage improves performances and decreases risk of injury by increasing flexibility, improving range of motion, and removing lactic acid buildup.

A thorough, team approach to therapy

 

During your first session, your provider will take a detailed history regarding any past or current injuries, medications, current lifestyle, sleep quality, diet and exercise frequency. Based on your goals and any contraindications, the therapist will conduct your session accordingly. Afterward, the therapist will review the session, discuss continued care and, with the client’s permission, correspond with any healthcare providers on any necessary recommendations.

testimonial

Went to Performance for massage, and this was a massage with purpose! Went to get some relief from ringing tinnitus and some neck and shoulder issues. All I can say is… it hurt so good! And for any of you who have had a deep tissue massage before… and I get them on a regular basis for health reasons… You know what I mean! Big thank you to their team.
