SPORTS MASSAGE.

Sports massage is a clinical form of soft tissue therapy designed for athletes and physically active individuals. At Eclipse Wellness, it combines neuromuscular therapy, trigger point release, and myofascial work to address the specific muscle dysfunction patterns that develop from training, competition, and repetitive movement.

Every sport creates predictable compensation patterns. Runners develop hip flexor tightness and IT band restriction. Tennis players accumulate rotator cuff dysfunction and forearm overuse. Cyclists develop posterior chain imbalance and thoracic restriction. Our therapists assess these patterns specifically — not generically — and treat the structures that are actually limiting your performance or contributing to injury.

The result is restored range of motion, reduced pain, faster recovery, and a body that moves the way it's supposed to.

Your session begins with an assessment — posture, range of motion, and a brief history of the problem. We want to understand not just where it hurts, but why. Most athletic injuries are the downstream result of a compensation chain that started somewhere else in the body.

Treatment combines neuromuscular therapy to release trigger points and restore proper firing patterns, myofascial release to address fascial restrictions limiting movement, and trigger point therapy to eliminate referred pain patterns. The combination is selected based on what your body actually needs — not a pre-set protocol.

For athletes pairing manual therapy with movement training, we also recommend private STOTT Pilates to rebuild correct movement patterns on top of restored tissue — preventing the same injury from returning.
