In ancient Greece, physicians used the art of rubbing and kneading to help prepare athletes for Olympic events. When modern Swedish Massage was invented in the early 1880s, it was frequently used to help fencers deal with the aches and pains common to professional athletics. Two hundred years later, sports massage is still an excellent way for people to prepare their muscles for strenuous workouts or as therapy to speed recovery from pulls, strains or other sports-related injuries.

What is Sports Massage?

Sports Massage is a specialized form of traditional Swedish Massage using pressure along with long, rhythmic strokes to relax muscles. Oils and/or lotions are usually used to reduce friction. With this massage, the therapist will usually concentrate on a specific area, specific to your activity, and may employ massage therapy trigger point techniques to help break up adhesions (knots) in muscles, thus improving range and flexibility.

Four Types of Sports Massage

There are four basic types Sports Massage:

• Pre-Event – This type of massage is done to stretch and stimulate muscles prior to a competition. Sessions usually last 30 to 45 minutes.
• Post-Event – Usually performed shortly after a competition, this type of massage is used to relax stressed muscles and restore tissue balance.
• Restorative – Done during training, this is used to allow athletes to train harder while avoiding injury.
• Rehabilitative – Used to accelerate healing and reduce pain from strains, pulls and other muscular injuries.

For those receiving pre-event treatment, it’s best to keep to within two days of the sports event. The idea is to stimulate nutrient and blood flow to the muscle tissue. Physiological relaxation is a side effect of massage, encouraging mental confidence as well. Pre-event massage often has the effect of improving warm-ups, stretching and manipulating muscles. This improves circulation, which can reduce chances of injury.

Post-performance massage is a bit different, in that it is fast and direct. It lasts 10 – 15 minutes on average, and focuses right on particular areas affected by the sport in question. Compression techniques are the primary techniques of use, with compressive and petrissage techniques as well. The intention is that muscle tension is ease, and muscle recovery speeds up with fewer muscle spasms. The goal is to achieve full range of motion as soon as possible. It’s common that serious sports teams retain an on-site chair masseur to make sure sports massage can happen as needed during competition.

Like all massage, sports massage incorporates the physical, psychological, and physiological to achieve system balance. With massage for pain management, it’s pretty easy to see where the physical effects come from; however, there are other benefits as well. Lactic acid and other waste is ferreted more quickly out of the system, and massage promotes improved circulation. Scare tissues break down faster, and athletes see an improvement in muscle elasticity. Then, people see increased blood flow to various muscles.

Not Just for Athletes

Whether you are a weekend warrior, a professional athlete or live an active lifestyle, Sports Massage may be right for you. Anyone whose muscles are under regular stress or who is suffering from muscular stiffness, soreness or limited range-of-motion can benefit from this proven type of therapy.

We know that stress and tension are real. As one of the basic components of human nature, stress and tension help us respond to unpredictable situations. We also know this as the flight or flight response. This definitely came in handy in primitive times when man had to fight off giant cats or beasts alike. In modern times we are faced with the same feelings but unfortunately we are experiencing them too much. It has been said that, if you live in a big city, it is like being attacked by several large animals and several small ones all in one day. The stimulus is exactly the same.

Getting a massage is a good way to reduce these types of stresses. But there are different types of massages. How do I know which one is right for me? Let’s look at a few types of massages:

A)    Swedish massage is basically the typical kneading, squeezing and pushing type movements over the muscles.

B)   Light massage is basically a gentle massage. This is a great one for beginners because your body isn’t use to the types of pressures and sensations that a massage can bring

C)   A relaxed massage will typically be the same as a Swedish massage but much lighter. You may even fall asleep with this type of massage.

D)   Esalen massive was created in California. It involves many long and flowing type strokes.

There are many more types of massages, but the Swedish style is most common. There are many reasons to get a massage but releasing stress and tension will definitely help improve your happiness and life quality.

There are many factors that lead to stress. These can be your job, your personal relationships or some issues concerning your way of living. Massage therapy helps you relax, re-align and rejuvenate. There are many positive aspects to receiving massage therapy on an ongoing basis, and with the busy lives we lead, we can all benefit from a little stress-management. I use movement within the context of a flowing, relaxing massage to reach deep within the body and release old habitual patterns. I direct my attention toward a feeling of real peace and acceptance, of organic wholeness, of balance. I work deeply or lightly as needed to release tense areas and to make connections towards aware, tension-free living.

I’ve mastered the art of sensual massage combined with therapeutic massage. I’m very discreet. If you like masculine, then look no further! All my pictures are recent .

Expect to surrender yourself and experience a very personal and uninhibited session where you will be pampered and taken care of. Like to make the session hot & fun while still getting the massage done. Making sure the client feels comfortable is paramount. You can touch every part of my n ude rock hard body while I rub you all over. Touching is encouraged! From mild to wild.

**Sensual: I don’t believe that the sensual or erotic part of a massage should be a mechanical task performed at the end of the session. Rather, the entire session should include sensual elements and erotic energy throughout. I use my strong hands and sometimes my entire body to massage you.

**I do the massage in the nude.

**Erotic and sensual play (if it’s important to you) is limited to what we both feel comfortable with. I finish the massage with a long and deep b j o b. Normally it takes well over 90 minutes, and since I dont book back to back clients I am never tired of bored, unlike other guys here, or so I have been told. Its Time for YOU!

* Gay men who are in a relationship. They choose me because I provide a safe and discreet way for them to be with a hot guy in the nude that does not infringe on their commitment with their partner. They often tell me that they’re not satisfied with their partner’s touch (or lack of it). We always respect each other’s boundaries.

* Single top and bottom guys who enjoy a hot butt massage and butt play. They get to surrender themselves and be man-handled by hot dominant guy with strong hands who knows what he’s doing. This part of the session is so erotic that I have had several clients who have c** while I was massaging them without me ever touching their privates.

* Married, first timers, bi curious guys. They come to me because I provide a clean, safe, discreet and fun experience for them as they get to explore and try new things. The massage relaxes them and then they’re extremely aroused by the erotic play.
