Sports Massage at Aliyah Massage Therapy
Sports massage therapy at Aliyah is a clinical, movement-focused treatment tailored to the physical demands your body faces during training, competition, and recovery.
Our registered massage therapists assess how your sport, activity level, and movement patterns affect specific muscle groups, joints, and connective tissue. Each session is adapted to your goals—whether that’s pre-event preparation, post-event recovery, or ongoing injury prevention.
What Is Sports Massage Therapy?
Sports massage therapy focuses on muscles and tissues that are stressed through repetitive movement, impact, load, and training volume. Unlike relaxation massage, it is structured to support:
-
Physical performance
-
Recovery between training sessions
-
Injury prevention and rehabilitation
-
Long-term musculoskeletal health
Sports massage can be used before activity, after activity, or as part of a regular training regimen.
Who Sports Massage Is Best For
Sports massage therapy is well-suited for:
-
Recreational and competitive athletes
-
Runners, cyclists, swimmers, and strength trainers
-
Team sport athletes (hockey, basketball, soccer, etc.)
-
Individuals training regularly or returning from injury
-
Anyone experiencing muscle fatigue, tightness, or restricted movement from physical activity
You do not need to be a professional athlete to benefit.
Techniques Used During Sports Massage
Depending on your needs, sports massage sessions at Aliyah may include:
Deep tissue massage
Myofascial release
Trigger point therapy
Friction techniques
Lymphatic drainage
Assisted stretching and mobility work
Techniques are selected based on your activity level, recovery phase, and tolerance, and adjusted throughout the session.
Benefits of Sports Massage Therapy
Sports massage therapy may help:
-
Reduce muscle soreness and fatigue
-
Improve range of motion and flexibility
-
Support recovery from overuse and training stress
-
Address muscle imbalances and movement restrictions
-
Reduce risk of strain or injury over time
-
Support mental focus and body awareness
Many clients incorporate sports massage into a preventative maintenance routine, not just after pain appears.
What to Expect During Your Sports Massage Session
Your session begins with a brief intake to understand your sport, training schedule, and current concerns. Treatment is performed in a private room, and pressure is adjusted continuously based on your comfort and response.
Sports massage may feel more targeted or intense than relaxation massage, but it should never force pain or breath-holding. Communication during the session is encouraged.
Is Sports Massage Covered by Insurance?
Yes. Sports massage therapy provided by a registered massage therapist in Québec is typically eligible for insurance reimbursement. Official receipts are issued after each session.
