I work as a licensed massage therapist at my space inside of BoomBox Fitness. My focus is on deep tissue, sports, and injury massage. I am also certified in myofascial, traditional cupping therapy, and Kinesio taping.

What's so important about massage for athletes? Massage has been proven to reduce inflammation by removing excess fluids from taxed muscles. This is important for the athlete's recovery and performance since reducing inflammation results in healthier muscle tissue. Another thing that plagues athletes is Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness. This is referred to as DOMS. Many athletes experience debilitating DOMS 2-3 days after an intense workout. The good news is that massage has been shown to reduce DOMS by 30%!
