What to expect during the massage:
Massage therapy at The GOAT Sport Medicine Clinic is more than just relaxation — it’s a focused, clinical approach to pain relief, injury prevention, and improved movement. Your appointment will begin with a short intake where your registered massage therapist (RMT) will ask about your symptoms, activity level, past injuries, and treatment goals.
Each session is tailored to your body’s needs. Whether you’re recovering from a workout, managing long-standing tension, or preparing for a race or event, your therapist will use targeted techniques to address problem areas. Treatments are typically 30, 60, or 90 minutes and may include focused work on a single area (such as the neck or hips) or full-body treatment, depending on your goals.
After treatment, we may offer guidance on stretching, movement modification, home care, or when to book follow-up care for optimal results.
Massage techniques we use:
Our RMTs are trained in a variety of techniques to help clients manage pain, improve flexibility, and promote tissue healing. Depending on your goals, your massage session may include:
-
Deep Tissue Massage – Targets deeper layers of muscle to release chronic tension, break up scar tissue, and improve range of motion
-
Trigger Point Therapy – Focused pressure applied to “knots” in muscles that refer pain to other areas of the body
-
Myofascial Release – Gentle sustained pressure on fascia (connective tissue) to reduce tightness and increase mobility
-
Swedish Massage – Long, flowing strokes that promote relaxation, circulation, and lymphatic drainage
-
Joint Mobilization – Gentle movement of joints to restore normal motion patterns and reduce stiffness
-
Sports Massage – Technique-specific work used before or after training or competition to optimize performance and recovery
-
Prenatal Massage – Side-lying or supported positioning to safely address pregnancy-related discomforts such as back pain, swelling, and hip tightness
Goals of massage therapy:
