Competitor's Edge Massage·https://www.competitorsedgemassage.com
Richard Williams has been a Licensed Massage Therapist for 14 years. He performs an integrated approach to Massage and Bodywork including modalities ranging from Deep Tissue, Sports Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, MyoFascial Release, Orthopedic Massage, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, as well as various forms of Stretching and Muscle Energy Techniques.
Richard knew Massage Therapy was a calling and passion of his since he was a child. He used to work on his active parents, and their friends since he was in Kindergarten. He felt his life gained purpose when he finally went to Massage Therapy School, and after graduating from Blue Cliff School of Massage in 2009, he moved to a ski town in Colorado where he became experienced by working on Winter and Summer Mountain enthusiasts including skiers, bikers, golfers, ultra-athletes, and Olympians.
Richard is an ultramarathon trail runner, and has had to learn much about the body to train and recover properly so that he can continue doing what he loves with little to no stress on his body.
Richard is also a Type 1 Diabetic, so he has to be aware and knowledgeable of other systems of the body to healthily and efficiently perform in daily life.

Massage Sessions
Whether you are looking for Swedish, Deep Tissue, or Sports therapy; allow my 30 minutes to help relieve focus areas that are giving you trouble. We will spend detailed time in select areas that are bothering you the most.
This massage is all about focusing on one or two specific problem areas you want addressed. It is short and sweet with all the added benefits of quality work.
Sports Therapy techniques consist of stretches and active involvement from clients to increase Range of Motion in the body due to tight muscles and past injuries. Coupled with Deep Tissue, Sports Therapy can be even more effective. Sports Therapy is highly suggested for athletes to prevent injuries.
Prenatal massage techniques are designed to help illuminate tight muscles that come about during pregnancy. Prenatal massages avoid certain trigger points, too much heat, and Rosemary essential oil (this is to be avoided during pregnancy). Enjoy massages throughout your pregnancy to fully enjoy the beauty of your pregnancy without all the tight muscles!
Deep tissue techniques are designed to relieve tight muscles from daily and athletic activities. This technique will take you to the edge of your comfort with maximum results.
Deep Tissue can be coupled with Sports Therapy for additional effectiveness.

Swedish massage techniques are designed to relax and rejuvinate tight muscles. Swedish massage increases blood flow while reducing blood pressure.
Myofascial Release is a whole body approach to treating your body. There is a web of fascia
(connective tissue) that covers your body from head to toe. This web is constantly moving and
changing. Once there has been trauma introduced into the system restrictions occur. The fluid
around the fascial web solidifies and over time pain and limited range of motion follow. This can
be a car accident, a surgery (minor or major), or trips and falls. Whether you are aware of it or
not your body “remembers” the trauma and stores this in the body tissues.
There are three components to this modality of bodywork. First, there is the structural
component where structural imbalances will be assessed and treated. This is where myofascial
work can become quite intense and deep (more pressure is applied to the restricted areas).
Sometimes this is necessary for the body to respond especially if the trauma is an old injury and
you have been dealing with this for a long period of time. Balancing the pelvis and working with
a frozen shoulder are good examples of this.
The second component is rebounding. Rebounding is rocking the body and creating a rhythm
in the body fluids (our bodies are approximately 70% water). The rocking motion is a great
assessment tool for additional restrictions that may not have been discovered in the initial
assessment (prior to your session is an assessment to determine where treatment will begin) as
well as a follow up to the structural work. The session can also end with rebounding as it can
be relaxing, calming and recommended for anyone highly stressed out and needs a way to be
able to relax. Note: if you suffer from motion sickness please make us aware prior to your
session.
The third and last component of myofascial release is unwinding. Unwinding can occur when
you are completely relaxed and have developed trust with your therapist. It involves being able
to let your body move and as your therapist I hold space for you as you unwind. Your body will
spontaneously move during an unwinding. My role during an unwinding is to keep you safe and
to direct you (if needed) to better enhance your session. From personal experience unwinding
can be very freeing and you will be surprised how light and energized you will feel afterwards.
These three components work together and it is the synergy of all three that promote a positive
response in your session. Clients report that they feel lighter and have more energy after a
myofascial release session.
