Unlock Peak Performance with Sports Massage at Zenith Performance and Wellness

Updated: Sep 15

Athletes, weekend warriors, and active individuals push their bodies to the limit. Training hard, competing fiercely, and striving for peak performance takes a toll—but sports massage offers the recovery solution you need to move better, feel better, and perform better.



What is Sports Massage?

Sports massage is a targeted therapy designed to support athletes and active individuals. Unlike a traditional relaxation massage, sports massage is focused on enhancing muscle recovery, improving flexibility, reducing pain, and optimizing performance. Whether you’re a runner, cyclist, strength athlete, or someone who just loves movement, this treatment can be tailored to your unique needs, goals, and physical demands.



The Benefits of Sports Massage

  • Faster Recovery: Intense workouts and competitions can cause muscle soreness, tightness, and fatigue. Sports massage helps flush out toxins, increase circulation, and speed up tissue repair so you can recover quickly.

  • Injury Prevention: Many overuse injuries stem from poor mobility, muscle imbalances, and restricted movement. Sports massage addresses these issues before they turn into injuries, keeping you strong and pain-free.

  • Enhanced Flexibility & Mobility: Stiffness limits movement and performance. Sports massage releases muscle tension, breaks up adhesions, and improves joint mobility, helping you move freely and efficiently.

  • Pain Relief & Muscle Optimization: Chronic pain or tightness from training, repetitive movements, or past injuries can affect performance. Sports massage targets problem areas, relieves pain, and keeps your body functioning at its best.

  • Mental & Physical Rejuvenation: Recovery isn’t just physical—it's mental too. A deep, effective sports massage reduces stress, clears mental fatigue, and helps you reset so you can train harder and perform better.

Comments

Within a month I had noticeable improvement and was back to my regular training routine.

I received excellent care here. The wrist injury I came to get help with was 7 months old and getting worse and within a month of receiving PT care here I was experiencing noticeable improvement and able to get back to my regular training routine. Mike’s attention to detail and expertise got me much needed relief and improvement and set me up for success to continue improving on my own. Great PT experience, thanks Zenith and thank you Mike!

Exceptional Care from Mariel and Jesse

This is a review for Mariel and Jesse: I have had many massages with Jesse. He is methodical, receptive, and thoughtful with every massage. If you have a trouble spot he will definitely spend the time working on it but will budget his time to make sure you end up with a full body massage as well. I have never left without feeling better and that I wasn’t worth it. He is very good at getting the knots and tension out without subjecting you to abject torture. A true sports massage with the benefit of full body relaxation. The only caution I’d give is that he is in a “gym” space. If you do not mind the VERY occasional “sounds of the gym”, you will be fine. However, if you use the massage room as a means of escape into a quiet, serene, transcendent space without ANY external distraction - there may be the occasional thud of a weight. But by no means are the sounds constant. I can still find my peace. I worked with Mariel initially for my back and then my shoulder. I started by seeing Mariel for my back which started to progressively improve and during this time my shoulder flared up. I didn’t need a new referral, I didn’t feel bad about bringing it up, we seamlessly transitioned into working on both without any issue. She is a consummate professional, insightful, and knowledgeable. At the same time, she is fun, laid-back, and gives reasonable advice and adjustments to work towards your goal. I would trust her with any physical therapy ailment I have.
