Athletes and endurance enthusiasts put their bodies through intense demands—whether it’s running a marathon, cycling long distances, or competing in a triathlon. At Sanavital Medical Center in Doral, our sports massage therapy supports recovery after races, relieves training-related muscle tension, and helps prevent injuries. From pre-event preparation to post-competition recovery, we provide personalized care to keep your body performing at its best.
What is Sports Massage?
Sports massage is a specialized therapy that targets the muscles, tendons, and connective tissues most stressed by physical activity. Unlike a relaxation massage, this treatment focuses on recovery and performance, with deep tissue and stretching techniques tailored to your needs. It’s ideal before competition to keep your legs fresh and after intense training sessions to accelerate healing.
