What We Help With
At Motion Lab, we provide targeted sports massage therapy to help you move better, feel looser, and live pain free. Whether you are active, sedentary, or somewhere in between, here is how we can help.
Tight Muscles, Stiffness and Reduced Mobility
Cause:
Tight muscles can build up gradually from daily habits like sitting at a desk, lifting in the gym, or simply not moving enough. They can also develop from stress, poor posture, or long hours on your feet.
You might notice:
• A feeling of stiffness when getting out of bed or standing after sitting
• Discomfort or restriction when reaching, bending, or twisting
• Muscles that feel heavy, tense, or difficult to stretch
• A general sense that your body doesn’t move as freely as it should
Tight muscles can limit your movement, affect performance, and create tension in surrounding joints or areas of the body.
How massage helps
Massage works by increasing blood flow, warming up the tissues, and releasing areas of muscle tension. It helps restore normal length and flexibility to the muscles, making movement feel easier and more natural. Many people leave a session feeling lighter, looser, and more comfortable in their body.
Myofascial Trigger Points (also known as Knots)
Cause:
Trigger points, also known as myofascial trigger points, are small, tight areas within a muscle that can feel like knots and cause pain either locally or in a referred pattern (pain in another area). They often develop when muscles are overused, stressed, or not functioning optimally.
You might notice:
• A specific tender spot that hurts when pressed
• Pain that seems to spread to another area, like headaches from the neck
• A deep ache that stretching alone doesn’t relieve
• Muscle tightness that keeps coming back
How massage helps
We use specific techniques like deep tissue and trigger point release to reduce these areas of tension. Many people experience quick relief from things like headaches and shoulder tightness after treatment.
Postural Imbalances and Repetitive Strain
Cause:
When the body stays in one position for too long or repeats the same movement often, certain muscles can become overworked while others weaken. This creates imbalance and uneven tension across the body.
You might notice:
• Aches or tension in the neck, shoulders, or lower back
• One side of the body feeling tighter or stiffer than the other
• Discomfort during simple movements like walking, lifting, or reaching
• Pins and needles or a numb sensation, often from nerve pressure
• General fatigue or heaviness from inefficient movement patterns
Over time, these imbalances can place extra stress on joints, tendons, and ligaments, increasing the risk of injury or chronic pain.
How massage helps
Massage helps release tight, overactive muscles while encouraging better alignment and movement patterns. It increases circulation and relaxes areas under strain, making it easier to maintain better posture and move with less discomfort. Regular treatment can support long-term balance and help prevent future issues from developing.
Muscle Soreness and Workout Recovery
Cause:
After challenging workouts, muscle soreness can set in and make everyday tasks uncomfortable. This is known as delayed onset muscle soreness and is especially common 24 to 72 hours after training.
You might notice:
• Muscles feeling tender or sensitive to touch
• Stiffness when moving or stretching
• Reduced strength or range of motion
• Fatigue or heaviness in the limbs
• A dull ache that wasn’t there during the workout
How massage helps
Massage encourages blood flow, which helps bring nutrients to the muscles and remove waste products like lactic acid. It can also help reduce inflammation, ease tension, and speed up the recovery process.
People often feel more mobile, lighter, and less stiff after a massage, which means they can return to training or everyday activity feeling more comfortable and ready to move again..
