Sports Massage for Males by Male (North Durham)

I am offering deep-tissue therapeutic sports massage for Males by Male. Do you work out at least twice weekly or actively play a sport? Do you feel something is holding you back from meeting your strength, endurance, or size goals? I provide therapeutic sports massage that aims to identify any adhesions or scar tissue in the fascia between muscle and tendons. This therapy breaks those up so that the body can heal and the muscles can continue to grow. For your body to properly heal, you need to be in a state of active muscle conditioning that comes with working out or playing a sport. This therapy is achieved through deep tissue manipulation of muscles, tendons, and facia, which can involve some pain. Muscles are surrounded by a fragile, almost paper-like layer of tissue called fascia. When muscles lose strength, or you experience an injury, and you aren't expressing a full range of motion, this facia can adhere to other nearby muscles, tendons, and nerves. When these adhesions occur, inflammation causes reduced blood flow, resulting in soreness and further limiting range of motion. Another scenario is that the facia will lose its flexibility as we age; this means that it can form a sack that can restrict a muscle's growth potential. This therapy aims to break those adhesions in a controlled way or physically break up the fascia so the body can restore blood flow and repair that damage. This therapy is only for guys engaged in active exercise/sports because the adhesions will reform as scar tissue without that level of activity after the massage! You must have a good pain tolerance and be able to breathe through that pain without flexing; otherwise, you'll not see the benefits of this therapy. We'll work through breathing exercises to help relax you through these trigger points, but you must be able to endure it. This is not a Swedish-style, relaxing massage! I only accept new clients who are active gym goers (at least twice a week) or play a sport. This is a therapeutic full-body toe-to-head sports massage for those engaged in active muscle conditioning. My rate is $1/min, with the first session usually between 75-90 minutes, depending on the level of need. Subsequent sessions are generally 60 mins. I only accept cash. The massage is performed in my home studio on weekdays, M-F, 10 am - 5 pm [4 pm is the LAST time to start, no exceptions] I use a coconut-based massage oil called MCT Oil. Massage is given in a private home. If needed, you may use my shower to remove the oil. HOURS: M - F, 10 am - 5 pm — NO WEEKENDS [I'll answer texts until 8 pm] CONTACT: (919) 666-7724 [TXT ONLY, no voice calls]- Zac The massage is provided without draping, meaning you will be nude. It is not sexual in nature. I will work deep areas of the hip flexors, so "boners sometimes happen," which is nothing to be anxious about.
