Why is Julstro Muscular Therapy Sport Massage Different Than Massage?

 

• Julstro Muscular Therapy is not a full-body relaxing massage. It is a unique sport massage that focuses on the specific spasms that are putting pressure on the joint and/or nerve.  As the spasms are pressed, the toxins are forced out through the muscle fibers and blood fills the void.

• Massage is basically general in nature. It increases your circulation and flushes toxins out of the surface muscle fibers.

• Julstro Muscular Therapy is done through clothing without sliding on the skin, so oil is not necessary.  Treatment is not only done in Julie’s office, but is also done at a sporting event, the office, or any public place appropriate for the client’s activity.

• Massage uses oil as a lubricant and can leave you feeling the need to take a shower. Treatment must be done in an office or other private area.

• Julstro Muscular Therapy eliminates the source of pain so the results are long-lasting or permanent.

• Massage effects last for several hours.

​
