Massage is more than just a luxury—it’s an essential part of recovery and wellness, especially for active individuals. With massage at Summit Athletic Club, our professional massage therapy services are tailored to support your fitness goals, enhance muscle recovery, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being. Whether you’re training hard, managing chronic pain, or simply need to unwind, massage at Summit is the perfect complement to your healthy lifestyle.

Why Massage Belongs in Your Wellness Routine

Massage therapy has long been recognized for its ability to relax tense muscles, improve circulation, and relieve stress. But when integrated into a regular fitness routine, massage does even more—it supports muscle recovery, enhances flexibility, and reduces the risk of injury. That’s why Summit offers on-site massage services to all members who want to take their wellness to the next level.

Types of Massage Offered at Summit

We understand that every body is different, so our licensed massage therapists offer a variety of techniques to meet your individual needs:

Sports Massage

Perfect for athletes and gym-goers, sports massage targets overworked areas of the body to relieve tension, reduce inflammation, and support recovery after intense activity. It can also be used before workouts to improve mobility and performance.

Deep Tissue Massage

This method uses firm pressure to reach deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It’s ideal for chronic pain, muscle stiffness, and postural issues often caused by long periods of sitting or repetitive motion.

Swedish Massage

A more relaxing option, Swedish massage focuses on long, flowing strokes to increase blood flow, release tension, and promote relaxation. It’s great for reducing anxiety and restoring a sense of calm.

Trigger Point Therapy

This technique focuses on tight knots or “trigger points” in the muscles that refer pain to other areas of the body. Releasing these points helps restore mobility and reduce chronic pain.

How Massage Supports Your Fitness Goals

At Summit, we view massage therapy as a vital piece of the recovery puzzle. When paired with training, hydration, and proper nutrition, massage offers many performance-enhancing benefits:

  • Improves flexibility and range of motion
  • Reduces muscle soreness and stiffness
  • Speeds up muscle repair after workouts
  • Enhances circulation for better nutrient delivery
  • Relieves stress and mental fatigue
  • Supports better sleep and recovery

Whether you’re prepping for a competition, recovering from an intense session, or managing everyday stress, massage helps you move and feel better.

Integrating Massage Into Your Routine

Massage doesn’t need to be reserved for special occasions. Adding regular sessions to your schedule can help you stay on track with your fitness goals and avoid burnout. Many Summit members choose to schedule massage:

  • Weekly or biweekly for ongoing training support
  • After major workouts to reduce soreness
  • Before events or races to boost performance
  • During recovery weeks to relax the body and mind

Talk with your Summit massage therapist to build a plan that fits your needs and lifestyle.
