More Than Medium Pressure
An Extension Sport Massage is different than most other clinics because we
do an Assessment of the Human Movement system, which allows a more specificity
for your massage. This system is great for people who do 150 - 300 mins of
moderate to intense aerobic exercise per week. A Sport massage is used to
reduce and release tension in muscles. It can encourage the removal of lactic
acid, which can build up from a sports or activity and can help improve circulation.
A sports massage can also aid in helping an athlete mentally prepare for a
competition or just normal activity. Sports massage are similar to a deep
tissue massage. The main difference is that a sports massage focuses on a
specific area that need relief form a sport injury or sporting exercise. A
deep tissue massage is more of a whole-body massage. A sports massage should
be intense but should not cause more pain. Always tell the massage therapist
if you tense up or feel more pain so the intensity can be reduced to get the
desired results.

A Thai massage uses a combination of acupressure, compression, and stretching.
It can help joints and muscles achieve an increased range of motion. It can
also help in improving your posture. A Thai massage is performed while you’re
fully clothed so it’s recommended to always wear comfortable, stretchable
clothing. Many Thai massages are done on a floor mat instead of a massage
table, which offer a wider range of motion. A Thai massage can help relieve
stress, headaches, stimulate circulation, improve range of motion and boost
your energy. A Thai massage is more dynamic and focuses on relaxation and
enhancing your bodies energy flow using long strokes and rubbing to relieve

Therapists and Coaches at Ex-tension are well trained in Identifying and shedding
light on your muscular imbalances whether they are obvious or subtle. Muscular
Imbalances lead to offset posture, injury and pain. You might take notice
of this. At times it might feel like it is impossible to keep the shoulders
back. The more you pull them back the more the upper back becomes fatigued
and the shoulders simply fall forward. That is an imbalance. The overuse of
muscles of the chest are inhibiting muscles in the back. This can manifest
as upper back, neck and shoulder pain. Sometimes this can turn into various
injuries of the back, neck and shoulder as well. To list a few:
•Upper Back and Shoulder Pain.
•Lower back pain.
•Chest and arm pain.
•Neck pain.
•Headaches and migraines.
•Rotator Cuff Injuries.
•Shoulder impingement syndrome.
•Degenerative disk disease.

I am usually
reluctant to get a massage due to insecurities but Michae made me feel super
comfortable, relaxed, and I was so happy that I chose to get a massage from
him. His room is well kept, clean, and relaxing. I was able to let him know
what I wanted and didn't want and he respected that. Very happy with my massage
and I've recommended him to a few of my friends/family.

Michael was
very kind, respectful, and professional. My body feels 150% better from
when I walked in. He was quiet and thoughtful, with an amazing touch (not
too hard for a female body) and the massage was a delightful end to my day.
Focus was on my back, neck, and shoulder, exactly what I asked him for.
I plan on telling all my Spokane people about him. Don't hesitate to go,
even if you prefer a female therapist. The best! (Already booked my next
massage 3 weeks from now). :)

Michael has
healing hands! I feel incredibly comfortable in his presence - he is respectful,
knowledgeable, and caring. He takes much care in his craft to ensure an experience
that works for the individual in front him. I have seen him on 3 or 4 occasions
and each time he opened a dialogue with me in an effort to customize the massage
to my specific circumstances. He takes his time to understand my needs and
understand my muscles' needs. While in the massage, he has a tangible ability
to adapt to what his hands are feeling and he checks in often!
