You Don’t Have to Be an Athlete, You Just Have to Move

Here’s the truth: most people who benefit from sports massage aren’t professional athletes.

They’re runners, lifters, CrossFitters, hikers, warehouse workers, nurses, parents, desk-sitters who train hard after work — and yes, sometimes people who tweaked something standing up too fast.

Sports massage is for bodies that use the same muscles again and again. It’s built to address the tightness, stiffness, and movement habits that build up when muscles work hard without enough recovery.

This work is active, functional, and purpose-driven. It’s not about zoning out — it’s about helping your body move more freely and recover more effectively.

Inside a Sports Massage Session

Before

We’ll talk about how you move — your work, workouts, sports, training schedule, and anything that feels limited or overworked.

During

Sessions use targeted massage, stretching, and movement-based techniques to improve mobility, reduce stiffness, and support muscular recovery. It may feel stimulating and active, but everything is adjusted to your comfort and goals.

AFTER

Most people notice that movement feels easier and less restricted. You may feel more flexible, better coordinated, or simply more prepared to keep moving through your day.

Where Sports Massage Makes the Biggest Difference

Sports massage can support:

• Training cycles and event preparation

• Post-workout and post-event recovery

• Repetitive strain from physical jobs or hobbies

• Tight hips, hamstrings, calves, shoulders, and back

• Limited mobility or stiffness

• Muscle fatigue from consistent use

This is why sports massage is commonly booked around races, competitions, and heavy training periods — but it’s just as helpful for everyday movement support.

Sports massage at AMP is responsive and adaptable.

Some sessions focus on improving mobility. Others target specific muscle groups that are overworked or compensating. The work changes based on how your body is moving — and what it needs to keep doing what you ask of it.

The goal isn’t deep pressure or intensity.
