October 15, 2025Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy in Ottawa: Safe, Gentle Relief for Moms-to-Be
October 20, 2025Hockey is a high-impact, fast-paced sport that pushes your body to the limit. Whether you’re playing competitively or just love hitting the ice, recovery and injury prevention are essential for staying at the top of your game. At Nobility Performance, we help hockey players from Stittsville, Kanata, and Ottawa use massage therapy to bounce back faster, reduce pain, and perform their best—every game, every practice.
Why Hockey Players Need Massage Therapy
Hockey places unique demands on your muscles and joints:
- Explosive skating and quick direction changes stress your hips, groin, and lower back
- Repetitive shooting and checking can cause shoulder, neck, and upper back tension
- Hard falls, collisions, and blocked shots lead to bruises, strains, and tightness
- Long seasons and frequent games mean less time for your body to fully recover
Massage therapy helps you:
- Speed up muscle recovery and reduce soreness (DOMS)
- Improve hip, groin, and shoulder mobility for better skating and shooting
- Address muscle imbalances and prevent overuse injuries
- Boost circulation for faster healing and less inflammation
- Mentally reset between games and practices
How Nobility Performance Supports Hockey Players
Our Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) have experience working with athletes at all levels—from youth leagues to pros. Here’s what you can expect:
Assessment:
We’ll discuss your playing position, training schedule, and any pain or tightness. Your RMT will assess muscle tension, mobility, and areas of restriction.
Treatment:
Sessions are personalized—deep tissue, sports massage, myofascial release, and targeted stretching for the muscle groups hockey players use most (hips, groin, quads, shoulders, back).
Plan:
You’ll leave with recovery tips, mobility drills, and self-care strategies to keep you ready for every shift.
Real-World Examples
