Georgetown Sports Massage

Georgetown Sports Massage at 1070 Thomas Jefferson Street NW is a therapeutic sports massage practice in the Georgetown waterfront commercial district, near the C and O Canal and the Washington Harbour. The Thomas Jefferson Street address places the sports massage practice in the fitness and wellness cluster that the Georgetown waterfront area has developed: the proximity to the C and O Canal towpath, which is one of Washington’s most used running and cycling corridors, provides the sports massage practice with a natural customer base of Georgetown athletes who use the canal path for regular training.

Sports massage as a therapeutic discipline addresses the specific muscular and connective tissue conditions that athletic training and competitive sport create: the delayed-onset muscle soreness that follows the hard training session, the shortened and thickened muscle tissue that develops from the repetitive athletic movement pattern, and the adhesion in the connective tissue that restricted blood flow and repeated microtrauma produce. The sports massage therapist who understands the physiological demands of the specific athletic activity provides a targeted treatment that the general relaxation massage cannot replicate.

The Georgetown athlete’s regular sports massage appointment is as much a component of the training program as the track session or the strength training: the massage that is scheduled in the specific recovery phase of the training cycle provides the physiological conditions that support the adaptation that the hard training session induces. The Georgetown runner who trains on the canal path on Tuesday and Thursday benefits from the sports massage appointment that addresses the specific lower extremity patterns of the running stride.

The Thomas Jefferson Street waterfront location is accessible from the canal-level streets. Hours run Monday through Saturday. The Georgetown Sports Massage practice at 1070 Thomas Jefferson Street NW serves the Georgetown athletic community with the sports-specific massage knowledge that the general relaxation massage practice does not provide. The Thomas Jefferson Street waterfront location, adjacent to the C and O Canal towpath that is the Georgetown runner’s primary training route, places the sports massage practice in the direct service of the athletic Georgetown community that the canal corridor serves.

The Georgetown runner who trains on the canal path and who uses the Georgetown Sports Massage practice at Thomas Jefferson Street has the sports massage therapist’s knowledge of the specific muscular demands of the running stride and the specific injury patterns that the Georgetown canal path’s terrain creates. The regular sports massage appointment in the training program provides the physiological maintenance that the hard training schedule requires to avoid the overuse injuries that the untreated athlete’s training consistently produces. Hours run Monday through Saturday. The Georgetown Sports Massage practice at 1070 Thomas Jefferson Street NW coordinates with the other fitness and wellness services in the Thomas Jefferson Street waterfront cluster to provide the Georgetown athlete with the complete performance support program: the CorePower Yoga session for the flexibility and the mind-body preparation, the Definitions Personal Training for the strength program, and the Georgetown Sports Massage for the recovery and the injury prevention that the complete athletic program requires. Hours run Monday through Saturday.
