Massage Therapy
Massage Services
Every technique is selected for a purpose — to help you recover faster, move better, and perform at your peak.
Sports Massage
Targeted therapy designed for athletes. Prepares muscles for performance, reduces fatigue, and accelerates recovery between training calendar sessions and competition. Addresses sport-specific movement patterns and demands.
Deep Tissue
Targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Ideal for chronic muscle tension, postural issues, and stubborn knots that don’t respond to surface-level treatment. Highly effective for pain relief and mobility improvement.
Myofascial Release
Targets the fascia — the connective tissue surrounding muscles — to release restrictions that cause pain and limit mobility. Especially effective for athletes with recurring tightness or those who’ve plateaued in their rehabilitation.
Relaxation Massage
A full-body treatment focused on reducing stress, lowering cortisol, and improving overall wellbeing. Recovery isn’t just physical — mental and nervous system recovery matters too, and relaxation massage supports both.
Rehabilitation Massage
Coordinated directly with your physiotherapist to complement your rehab plan. Helps reduce scar tissue formation, improve circulation, and restore range of motion following injury or surgery as part of a comprehensive recovery program.
Maintenance Therapy
Regular massage sessions for active individuals who want to stay at peak condition. Prevents injury, maintains tissue health, and supports ongoing training loads. Popular with competitive athletes and weekend warriors alike.
Why It Works
Benefits of Massage Therapy
Evidence-informed massage therapy has measurable effects on both physical performance and recovery.
01
Faster Muscle Recovery
Increases blood flow and lymphatic drainage, clearing metabolic waste and delivering nutrients to fatigued muscles — getting you back to training sooner.
02
Reduced Injury Risk
Addresses muscle imbalances, adhesions, and restricted tissue before they become injuries. Regular maintenance massage keeps your body in optimal condition.
03
Improved Range of Motion
Releases tight fascia and muscle restrictions, restoring full joint mobility and allowing you to move the way your sport demands.
04
Pain Management
Effective for both acute and chronic pain conditions. Works alongside physiotherapy to provide lasting relief, not just temporary masking of symptoms.
05
Stress & Nervous System Recovery
Lowers cortisol and activates the parasympathetic nervous system. Essential for athletes under high training loads where mental recovery is as critical as physical recovery.

Integrated Care
The SMART Difference.
At SMART PERFORMANCE, your massage therapy therapist doesn’t work in isolation. They’re an active part of your care team communicating directly with your physiotherapist and performance coaches.
Initial Assessment
Your first visit includes a detailed intake to understand your history, goals, and what other SMART services you’re currently using.
Cross-Team Communication
Your RMT shares observations and updates with Carly, Wes, and your coaching team to align every aspect of your care plan.
Coordinated Treatment Plan
Massage sessions are timed and structured to complement your physiotherapy appointments, strength training, and competition schedule.
Better Results, Faster
Integrated care consistently outperforms isolated treatment. When your whole team is working from the same plan, you recover faster and perform better.
