Sports & Therapeutic Massage
Targeted Massage for Injury Recovery, Pain Relief, and Peak Performance
At Crater Chiropractic, our Sports & Therapeutic Massage services are designed for people who push their bodies—and those who are healing from it. Whether you're an athlete, active professional, or recovering from injury or surgery, this form of massage offers precise, results-driven care to help you move, perform, and feel better.
What Is Sports & Therapeutic Massage?
This style of massage goes beyond relaxation. It focuses on correcting muscle imbalances, restoring mobility, and supporting your body’s healing process. Sports massage helps prevent and recover from training-related soreness or overuse, while therapeutic massage addresses specific medical conditions like chronic pain, joint stiffness, and soft tissue injury.
Our licensed massage therapists combine techniques such as:
Deep tissue massage
Trigger point therapy
Myofascial release
Assisted stretching
Neuromuscular re-education
Every session is personalized to your injury history, physical goals, and activity level.

What to Expect During Your Session
Each appointment begins with a quick check-in to understand your current pain levels, activity, and goals. Your therapist will ask about recent injuries, surgeries, or physical limitations to ensure your session is safe and effective. This brief intake helps us design a treatment that’s not only therapeutic but also aligned with your lifestyle and recovery needs. We also consider your athletic demands or physical routines to make sure the session supports your daily performance. Communication is encouraged throughout so we can adjust the approach as needed.
Pressure, intensity, and targeted areas will all be adapted to your comfort level. Sessions may involve full-body work or be limited to a problem area like the lower back, shoulders, or legs—depending on what your body needs most. Many patients find that even one focused session leads to noticeable improvements in mobility, pain levels, and overall body awareness.
