Sport Massages , Recovery and Feeling Insanely Relaxed

sport massage barcelona , sagrada familia area
One of the best way to recover from a long trip or a workout is a great massage !

Hi Everyone,

As a Muscle Therapist I’ve been asked a lot of questions all the time about what is the best massage to recover from a workout or from any athletic performance

Of course there is no simple answer to this question because all the massages have to be customized on each client’s body and necessities.

For example if you have just run a marathon your body is already pretty inflamed from the physical exertion, the last thing you want to do is applying more damage ( a strong deep tissue ) to the already tired muscle. So a soft tissue massage with gentle mobilization could be the answer.

But let’s say you have a competition in 3 days and you feel your muscle tight from excessive strength training and conditioning.In this case you might want a deep tissue massage where I work your adhesion and release the knots throughout trigger point therapy. It might hurt a little and increase the inflammation in the next 48 hours but it will speed up the general recovery and get you ready and lit for the competition.

What I’m trying to say is that there is no magic formula to get the perfect massage , the only magic formula is the communication and the understanding between the client and the massage therapist. The more I understand how you feel when I work on your tissue the more I can calibrate my pressure and release the pain in your muscle. It’s a dialogue where we are working together to heal your body and to feel insanely relaxed after it.

Deep Tissue Massage and Back Pain Relief

Hi guys , welcome to my website. Today I want to explain to you my method to solve back pain. I believe in the scientific based approach of Stuart McGill, the theories on Fascia of Tom Myers and the Kinesiology work on muscle testing of Greg Roskopf.

When a patient come to my studio , I start the session with an initial Q and A : I draft a complete anamnesis of pain history , posture, workout routine, food intake, physical behaviour and then in collaboration with my client we figure it out the best treatment to heal his back pain.

I use :

  • Muscle Testing : to spot the weak muscle in the functional chain and with isometric contraction or palpation I activate that muscle
  • Osteopathic Testing : to detect subluxation and then with muscle energy techniques or Thrusting I correct the joint that is out of alignment
  • Myofascial Techniques : to redirect the Fascia in the wanted direction generally against gravity to redefine posture
  • Deep Tissue Massage : to relax the muscle and heal the muscle pain
  • Mobility : to strengthen the joint in the end range of the ROM
  • Exercises : to rehabilitate the muscle and increase performance

If you are ready to feel better and explore with me the best physical strategies and tactics to increase mobility, reduce pain and optimize physical and emotional health call me at 0034 634791996

or send me a Whatsapp at 0034 634791996

I charge 60 euros x 60 min and 85 euros x 90 min

Fix Your Posture (PERMANENTLY) , with MyoFascial Release Massage

Myofascial Release Massage
MyoFascial Release Massage in Barcelona

Myofascial Release Massage and its close cousin Rolfing , are alternative medicine therapies that treat the fascia and the muscle in your body, starting at the feet and continuing up to the skull. The MyoFascial concept is simple .As human being we are subjected to the pull of the force of gravity . Our structure (bone , muscle and fascia) adapt to this force and create dysfunctional movement pattern throughout our life that can result in behaviourally fixed positions.

Think about how the position of the head influences the rest of the spine when you are checking your phone. Or how high heels increase your pelvic tilt and create lower back pain .Even the way your feet touch the ground can induce shin splint or sciatica pain.

The causes of pain are infinite and to detect exactly where certain pain comes from is very complicated. I’m still learning after 20 years as a personal trainer and 6 yrs as a Muscle Therapist. Every day is a new challenge but I love it and I’m grateful for all my clients that trusted me all these years.

Fascia Work and Deep Tissue Massage Techniques can influence and correct your posture ( as long as it’s not structural ) . I can move your muscle and the fascia in the right direction ( generally against gravity) and with the addition of mobility and physical exercises you can become straight and strong again

if you think this is what you need or if you have any questions send me a Whatsapp Now at 0034 634791996

I charge 60 euros x 60 min

and 85 euros x 90 min

Functional Massage Therapy

back functional

Hi Guys and thanks for stopping by and reading my blog. Today I’m going to talk about my Functional Massage Therapy. As a strength and conditioning trainer my clients are mostly athletes, body–builders , Crossfitters or weekend warriors that no matter how careful they are in the training room they always end up with some kind of injuries. I believe that perfect position while lifting , pulling ( an object or your own body) it’s the key to avoid joint overused or tendinitis. But sometimes even perfect technique it’s not enough because if muscle are not activated in the right way it’s easy to end up with an imbalance that can decrease the performance.

That’s why before I give a functional massage, I always ask for physical history, I check the patient posture and if he is up to it I  test his muscle and activate them to make him perform better.

If you feel you need a Functional Massage or a Deep Tissue massage you are in good hands

my fees are : 65  euros x 60 min  or  85 x 90 min

I hope to see you soon in my Private Studio near Sagrada Familia
