Our Services
Sports Massage
At Medical & Sports Massage, our sports massage approach is tailored to your specific needs—because the demands of a football player, cyclist, or runner aren’t the same. By applying targeted pressure and movement, we reduce adhesions in muscle fibers, release trigger points, and improve circulation throughout the body. This process helps decrease joint and muscle inflammation, restore range of motion, and reduce stiffness that slows you down.
Many athletes find they recover faster and train harder with regular sessions, while active adults notice better mobility and fewer nagging pains. Whether you’re preparing for competition, recovering from an injury, or simply trying to stay in peak condition, sports massage helps you perform at your best.
Sports Cupping
Our knowledgeable staff utilizes sports cupping at Medical Sports Massage to assist our clients. In lay terms, this process creates suction on the skin, which improves blood flow, reduces inflammation, and encourages relaxation to target specific areas of the body to provide individualized treatment plans that cater to our client's particular needs. Whether your goal is to enhance athletic performance, prevent injuries, or relieve pain, our sports cupping therapies can help. Rely on our experienced therapists to provide you with the most effective treatment and care.
The picture above depicts a sports cup. The client had soft tissue tightness in the basketball player's latissimus dorsi muscle due to a rib injury. The following day, he returned to the court thanks to a sports cup and cryotherapy through Medical & Sports Massage.
Medical Massage
Medical massage is a focused, clinical approach to pain and injury management. Our therapists use a variety of techniques—including deep tissue, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release—to address chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, and conditions like TMJ, plantar fasciitis, and fibromyalgia.
Unlike general massage, medical massage targets the root cause of pain, helping reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and restore proper function to the affected area. It can be used as part of a broader care plan with your physician or on its own to improve mobility, energy, and quality of life. Clients often experience relief that extends beyond the session, allowing them to enjoy greater freedom in their daily activities and achieve more long-term results.
Graston Technique® Therapy
The Graston Technique® uses specialized stainless-steel instruments to break up scar tissue and fascial restrictions that keep you stiff and in pain. At Medical & Sports Massage, we most often use it to treat plantar fasciitis, but it’s also highly effective for sports injuries, chronic pain, TMJ, fibromyalgia, and post-surgical recovery.
Why it matters: Graston goes deeper than regular massage. It helps release stubborn tightness, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility—so you can walk without foot pain, train harder, and recover faster. Many clients notice improvement after just a few sessions, making it a powerful addition to your treatment plan.
Your Health And Wellness Is Our Top Priority
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Lymphatic drainage is a gentle, precise therapy that helps your body move excess fluid, reduce swelling, and restore balance. At Medical & Sports Massage, our therapists—led by Denise Leslie, a Certified Medical and Sports Massage Therapist with specialized oncology training—use this technique to support clients recovering from surgery, managing chronic conditions, or navigating cancer treatment.
The light, rhythmic strokes encourage lymph flow, which reduces inflammation, eases discomfort, and supports immune health. For oncology patients, it can make a noticeable difference in energy, mobility, and overall well-being during and after treatment.
Whether you’re healing from surgery, dealing with swelling, or looking for relief during cancer care, lymphatic drainage massage offers a safe, effective way to feel lighter, move easier, and reclaim a greater sense of comfort.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is for when “just relaxing” isn’t enough. At Medical & Sports Massage, our therapists use focused, slow pressure to target the layers of muscle and fascia where chronic tightness and pain typically originate. The result? Knots release, mobility returns, and inflammation eases so your body can finally move the way it’s supposed to.
It’s a go-to for people with desk-driven neck and back pain, athletes who need faster recovery, and anyone who feels like stiffness has become their new normal. Many of our clients notice the difference right away—less tension, freer movement, and relief that carries over long after the session ends.
When pain and restriction hold you back, deep tissue massage offers a stronger option to reset and perform at your best.
Contrast Treatment
Contrast Treatment at Medical & Sports Massage combines hot and cold therapy to help your body recover and feel its best. We often use a combination of tools—such as ice packs, rollers, or manual cryotherapy—alongside targeted heat to create a natural pumping effect in your muscles. Heat opens things up, allowing fresh blood and nutrients to flow in, while cold helps calm inflammation and soreness. Together, they work like a reset button for tired, stiff muscles.
Many of our clients use contrast treatments after surgery, tough workouts, or even just long days at work. Athletes notice faster recovery, and those dealing with arthritis or swelling often feel lighter and more mobile afterward. By alternating hot and cold in a safe, controlled manner, we give your body the chance to recover faster and with less discomfort—so you can keep moving without pain slowing you down.
