Sports Massage

Made for performance, not for pampering.

Providing the expert sports massage that Billings athletes trust. Sports massage is for those intentional about how they use their bodies, athletes, lifters, runners, riders, tactical professionals, and active adults who want training that works tomorrow, not just relief today.
Each session blends targeted muscle work with movement techniques based on how the body moves during sports. The goal: help you move better, recover faster, and stay strong for training.
This is not a relaxation massage. It’s goal-driven bodywork to help performance, support training, and reduce long-term strain.

Who this is for

Sports massage isn’t just for professionals.
It’s especially valuable for:
  • Endurance athletes (running, cycling, triathlon)
  • Strength and power athletes
  • Field and court sport athletes
  • Older athletes who want to recover well and stay active longer
  • Active adults who train hard and expect their bodies to keep up
Everyone has imbalances, and training can make them worse. Sports massage helps fix imbalances early, preventing missed sessions or long-term problems.

What to expect

You can expect a focused, purposeful session. I’ll ask about your training, workload, and goals. The work will be customized for you, not a one-size-fits-all routine.
If you want to completely relax and tune out, this may not be the right massage.
If you want to train smarter, recover better, and keep performing, you’re in the right place.

What Sports Massage Actually Does

Done right, sports massage prioritizes performance and recovery, and only then comfort, if it helps your goals.
It helps by:
  • Improving joint and tissue mobility where your sport demands it
  • Reducing overuse tension before it becomes a limiting factor
  • Supporting training cycles from base building through peak performance
  • Helping you tolerate higher workloads with less residual soreness
Sessions typically last 60 to 90 minutes and focus on areas most affected by your training. During your session, I will tailor the techniques to your current training cycle and specific needs, rather than following a basic sequence. As your training evolves, so will your session.

Support Every Phase of Your Training

Your Pre-Event Preparation starts here

In the days before competition, don’t push hard. Get ready.
Pre-event sports massage focuses on:
  • Tissue elasticity
  • Range of motion where you need it most
  • Nervous system readiness and coordination
Think of it as a tune-up. Skilled hands help you focus on performing, not distractions.

Active Recovery at its best

Hard training requires good recovery. Rest helps your body switch out of ‘go mode’ so you can improve.
The Rest-The-Athlete approach uses specialized methods to reduce your stress and prepare your muscles. This helps your body start healing right away, even during deeper work. It’s not just relaxing; it’s active recovery that helps you train harder and improve over time.

Get a Jump on your Recovery

Recovery starts as soon as you finish.
Post-event sessions help:
  • Clear out waste from your muscles.
  • Improve blood flow and bring nutrients to your muscles.
  • Lower the chance of lasting muscle problems or overuse.
Whether you gave everything or just pushed limits, post-event massage helps you return to training sooner and with fewer issues.
