UFIT
Treatment Sports Massage
Best for Active individuals who work out
regularly and want to experience less down
time between competitions or training
sessions
Review One big benefit of getting a sports
massage is that it’s usually dispensed by
someone who is active and can understand
firsthand the muscle aches and pains you
experience. Another is that they’re more
trained in knowledge of the anatomy
and physiology of the body, which means
your massage will be targeted and less of
a by-rote exercise. At UFIT, my therapist
Cassie – herself an avid long-distance runner
- was quick to cotton on to my issues: lower
back pain plus tight hips and glutes. She
immediately addressed them with a mixture
of rolling, kneading and elbow movements.
Far from a passive massage, she guided me to
breathe in and out to help relax the muscles

painful spots. Interestingly, she unearthed
a few other areas I didn’t even know were
sore: my right hip which corresponded with
some former tightness, and my pectoral area
where I’d been inflicting some stress on from
carrying around a heavy bag. She also took
the time to address an easily missed part of
the body, the ankle, which was surprisingly
wobbly from long periods of walking in
unsupported footwear. I left feeling a little
sore but with a lot less tightness, and fell
asleep very easily that night.
