Myofascial & fascial line integration
-
Lymphatic drainage (post-op + high-load edema)
-
Joint-decompression soft tissue
-
Return-to-play recovery
-
Nerve pathway pattern clearing
Scope of Practice
I do not diagnose or prescribe.
All treatment aligns with your staff’s clinical and performance directives.
How I Build Position-Specific Recovery Plans
Athletes don’t load tissue the same — so recovery must be position-focused.
Each athlete’s recovery plan is built using:
-
Force angles
-
Dominant planes of movement
-
High-demand muscle groups
-
Fascial line dynamics
-
Joint loading mechanics
-
Tissue fatigue patterns
-
Sport-specific injury risk
-
Season-phase recovery needs
This creates repeatable, precise soft-tissue integration that supports your performance model — not generic massage.
EXAMPLE: THE GOALIE TRI-SPORT COMPARISON
To illustrate this, here’s how a goalie can have three completely different recovery needs across three different sports:
⚽ Soccer Goalkeeper — Ground-Based Explosive Athlete
-
Stress Patterns: Adductors, groin, hip flexors, obliques, spine
-
Recovery Priorities: Groin decompression, hip capsule mobility, thoracic rotation, wrist/shoulder impact work
🏊♂️ Water Polo Goalie — Aquatic Power + Overhead Stability
-
Stress Patterns: Hip flexors + adductors, rotator cuff, deep core, diaphragm
-
Recovery Priorities: IR/ER balance, hip decompression, rib mobility, asymmetry rebalancing
🧊 Hockey Goalie — Ice-Based Lateral Stability
-
Stress Patterns: Adductors, ER complex, QL, lumbar stabilizers
-
Recovery Priorities: ER/IR hip balance, adductor release, lumbar decompression, MCL support patterns
Why This Matters for Teams & Medical Staff?
Position determines:
-
tissue loading
-
compensations
-
recovery demand
-
fatigue patterns
-
injury risk
A “goalie” is not a single protocol.
A “sprinter” is not a “lineman.”
A “pitcher” is not a “quarterback.”
This is why I build individualized recovery systems that align with your staff’s performance model — not generic massage sessions.
REFERRAL & INTEGRATION WORKFLOW
1️⃣ Direct Referral
AT/PT/S&C hands athlete off directly. No admin friction.
2️⃣ Comprehensive Soft-Tissue Assessment
Movement, fascia, nerve pathways, and position load patterns reviewed.
3️⃣ Integrated Treatment Plan
Aligned with your RTP or training cycle.
4️⃣ Brief, Relevant Communication
With consent — concise updates only when needed.
5️⃣ Improved Athlete Availability
Faster recovery, reduced setbacks, better mobility.
OUTCOME FOR PERFORMANCE PROGRAMS
When soft tissue, neuromuscular patterns, and recovery are integrated properly, athletes:
-
✔ Tissue quality under load
-
✔ Recovery speed
-
✔ Mobility + joint mechanics
-
✔ RTP efficiency
-
✔ Overuse injury reduction
-
✔ Career longevity
-
✔ Athlete availability
