Our solutions include both passive and active recovery techniques to keep athletes performing. We utilize a customized combination of modalities including Marc Pro, Normatec, blood flow restriction, Red Light Therapy (LLLT) and soft tissue techniques. As athletes and fitness enthusiasts recognize the importance of soft tissue recovery in their training regimen, various massage techniques have gained popularity for their ability to alleviate muscle soreness, enhance flexibility, and expedite overall recovery. Our years of experience at IAT we have developed different combinations of passive and active soft tissue recovery plans that will help you attain your goals. Infinite Athletic Training offers different types of soft tissue work including:
Deep Tissue Massage
For individuals dealing with chronic muscle tension or injuries, deep tissue massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and fascia. Therapists use firm pressure and slow strokes to target specific areas of discomfort. This technique aids in remodeling scar tissue, improving range of motion, and releasing muscle spasm or "knots", making it particularly beneficial for post-exercise recovery.
Sports Massage
Tailored specifically for athletes, sports massage targets areas of the body subjected to repetitive stress and overuse. It combines elements of deep tissue massage, incorporating stretching and joint mobilization techniques. Sports massage enhances flexibility, reduces muscle soreness, and accelerates the recovery process, making it a valuable asset in any athlete's training program.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger points, or areas of spasm within muscles, can lead to pain and restricted movement. Trigger point therapy involves applying pressure to these points to release tension and alleviate pain. This focused approach can be incorporated into various massage techniques or practiced as a standalone therapy, offering relief from specific soft tissue issues.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release focuses on the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and organs. This technique involves applying sustained pressure to release tension in the fascia, promoting improved mobility and reducing pain. Myofascial release is beneficial for addressing postural issues, chronic pain, and enhancing overall soft tissue health.
Incorporating different types of modalities and massage into a soft tissue recovery routine can significantly contribute to overall well-being, regulate nervous system response to exercise and training, and improve your athletic performance.
