Russian Sports Massage (RSM) is an advanced manual technique for reducing pain due to neuro-muscular dysfunctions and for maintaining and enhancing functional performance. It is very rare to find an MT, who is certified to perform the therapy in California. Learning to work with athletes and witnessing their performance increase as a result of our educated touch is an inspiring and memorable experience. Russian sports massage is strictly performed when using to help athletes reach peak performance. For instance, using oil and a 14-16 inch bolster is the key to this therapy. RSM can also be applied with any modality and be looked at as a therapeutic approach which is very unique as well. Learning how to incorporate these techniques towards anyone who is suffering with pain and any unknown or undiagnosed pathology/disease can be treated and receive comfort. RSM focuses on working with the nervous system and while being performed the therapist works with the midlines of the body. The person receiving RSM should wait 2-4 hours after a meal or 6 to 8 hours after working out to receive therapy. All massage interrupts digestion and interferes with rehabilitation after a workout.
