Massage Therapy
The Department of Recreational Sports offers massage therapy to all Rec Sports members and non-members. They are performed daily by licensed massage therapists.
Many of today's health problems can benefit from massage therapy because the manipulation of soft tissues affects so many of our bodily systems. Massage therapy treatments will have a therapeutic affect and improve health by acting directly on the muscular, nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic (immune) systems.
