Do you jog or run? Do you ever deal with minor aches and pains — or get sidelined with more serious running injuries?
Advanced Alternative Massage Therapy can help! We’d love for you to schedule and appointment with us today so we can help you get back to running pain free.
Advanced Alternatives offers a full menu of sports massage service options to be provided to various sports programs primarily in three (3) ways:
- Delivered in-office or on location to meet your needs.
- Structured differently for off-season and in-season sports massage programs.
- Customized to athlete-specific needs.
Running involves repetitive use of core groups of muscles more than others, which may result in hypertrophy, changes in strength patterns or changes in connective tissue formation and compensation patterns in the rest of the body.
Regular massage allows the body to function with less restriction and accelerates recovery time. It can promote blood flow, alleviate pain, speed up recovery time and help create healthy endorphins you may need to recover more quickly.

Remediation Massage for Runners –
Injury-Specific Protocols – Massage would be utilized to address specific issues such as restricted range of motion, chronic pain, and muscle/tendon injuries. These protocols would be designed to address the athlete’s individual complaints and reduce the athlete’s recovery time. The goal would be to get the athlete back to their peak performance level as quickly as possible.
Maintenance Massage –
This type of massage session would be customized for the specific athlete. Any problem areas would be addressed. The increased blood flow to the muscle helps keep the tissue healthy, which in turn would reduce the occurrence of injuries. The purpose of these protocols would be to keep the athlete in the best physical condition possible between games or seasons. This service could also be provided on-site if that is deemed most efficient use of the athlete’s time.
Customized Sessions
Our highly trained therapists are skilled in injury rehab and pain relief and offer a wide range of massage modalities with their unique, personal styles and special techniques. Your session will always be customized for your individual needs and recommendations may be given to include stretches, posture tips, lifestyle modifications or follow-up care with other modalities or practitioners.

Massage benefits for Tallahassee runners
With every step, your feet, knees, legs, back and even shoulders are feeling the impact of the pavement. While good shoes and stretching are great start staying injury free, getting a regular massage should help as well.
Our massages are designed to prepare you for your best performance, help you reduce fatigue and relieve muscle swelling, tension and tightness. Massages can be great before long endurance runs and certainly afterward to aid in muscle relief after the race. Let’s schedule some time together either before or after your next marathon, Spartan Race, Ragnar Relay, Warrior Dash or Tough Mudder.
Even neighborhood joggers will see great relief from regular massages. Sore tendons in your calf can be painful. Plantar Fascitis is no fun. Neither are sore knees and wrecked backs — especially when you’re supposed to just be getting in some light excercise.
Massage can help ease the pain, impact flexibility and keep you from further injury. Interested in getting help from Advanced Alternative’s experienced therapists? If so – call today at 850-325-1331.
