LAS VEGAS SPORTS MASSAGE & Manual MyoFascial Release

Serving Henderson, Las Vegas, and Southern Nevada

Manual myofascial release (aka sports massage) is defined as a therapeutic treatment of the soft tissues of the body using the provider’s hands. This approach most often resembles a “traditional massage” type of treatment.

Soft tissues include nerves, nerve plexus, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules, and the connective tissue known as fascia. Our Henderson sports massage chiropractors at Agape Health have been trained in manual myofascial release for injuries throughout the entire body, from your feet to the top of your head.

We use a form of myofascial release that involves movement of the affected area while it’s being treated.

WHY Do I need sports massage or MFR?

Regardless of the name, sports massage can help anyone, from athletes to everyday movers. Whether you’re recovering from a personal injury, are stuck at a desk all day, or you just experiencing physical pain, you will probably be a good candidate for MFR.

Myofascial release can increase your range of motion, which in hand 1) reduces the likeliness of injuries and 2) decreases pain no matter what position your body is in. In short, if your body is recovered, you will feel better and live life with more ease.

Benefits of manual myofascial release:

• Improving pain-free range of motion (flexibility)

• Decreasing pain

• Improving recovery rate

• Improving circulation

• Re-Initiating a local inflammatory response

  • The inflammatory response is important in healing

• Improving Scar Tissue mobility

  • Scar Tissue from muscle/tendon tears

  • Scar Tissue from surgical procedures

• and many more!

How does sports massage work?

When you visit our Henderson, NV location for sports massage, you will first go through an efficient but in-depth intake so we can get a feel for what your individual body needs. This is also a good time to notice any injuries or diagnose long-term problems that could be resolved through massage and stretching.

After the initial consult, we will have you lay on our massage table and our doctors will begin with a top to bottom treatment. This can include physical massage with the hands or the use of implements like a Theragun or scraper.

In addition to massage, we may work with cupping, dry needling, or other modalities as needed or requested.

In future sessions, we will take an inventory of how your body reacts to see what may need more or less attention in future visits. Our goal is to get you to recover and live your best life, not to make you dependent on us. Our friendly staff will make sure you know exactly what we’re doing so you can continue treatment at our Henderson location, or at home.
