Big Adrian's Las Vegas Massage

Relocating to Houston,TX

adriank — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 20:53:02 +0000

After some time to think and do some research I am moving to Houston,TX. I still have fun and enjoy working in Las Vegas, but this is an opportunity that I am truly excited for.

My older brother is in TX right outside of Houston and offered to show me around and help me get my business going out there. Texas has a strong economy, and I would live right by Sugar land, a high income area. I will continue to run my business and provide excellent deep tissue and sports massage.

I want to remain a mobile business, but will work with whats available. I learned a lot here in Las Vegas about business and massage, and want to apply it in Houston. I want to thank all of my friends and clients in Las Vegas. I will miss you all and I will stay in touch.

Basketball and Sports Massage in Las Vegas

adriank — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 04:32:19 +0000

Working with sports and injury massage it was only a matter of time until I started working with basketball players. I work on several players from the college level to the pro level.

The legs and lower back need much of the massage work with some deep tissue on the upper back and neck. Calf muscles become very tight, and need regular work to stay loose and flexible. Deep Tissue massage and trigger point especially help with the large and normally tight lower legs. The quads also need a lot of work because of the huge amount of running that basketball players do. I use a lot of elbow on the quads making sure to work the kneecap relieving pressure and encouraging blood flow to the area.

The hamstrings are notorious for being tight and needing deep tissue massage work. I strip them out, loosening the tension on the back of the knee and the calf. This type of massage is great to have done before a game, as it gets tissue warmed up in a very tight muscle group.
The it band and side of the knee get detailed massage work, warming up the muscles and relieving some of the tension caused by tight hips and legs. Manual stretching is also used, to accelerate the flexibility and recovery process.
The shoulders, neck, and arms get some work to relax the upper back and to improve the stability of the body during shooting.

Summerlin Area Outcall Massage Plus Deep Tissue for the Las Vegas area

adriank — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 22:06:57 +0000

Doing outcall massage in Summerlin is interesting and rewarding. I worked for three years in Summerlin at a physical therapy clinic doing deep tissue therapy and fell in love with the area. A good amount of my clients were from Summerlin, So I decided it would be a great place to focus on for my outcall massage business in Las Vegas.

I’ve traveled to most of the Communities in and around Summerlin, Including The Ridges, Red Rock Country Club, TPC Las Vegas and TPC Summerlin, as well as Boca Park and surrounding area’s
Most of my clients tend to be active in both work and life so they need as regular tune-up to keep running at full speed.

I have a clientele of tennis players, golfers, poker pro’s, doctors, and professional athletes. I offer packaged plans, and my prices are very reasonable for the level of massage being performed.

The type of massage performed is custom based on your needs. Each client is different, while one may only need 15 minutes on the back, another may need the entire session to address lower back pain. Each body builds and injures differently, so a custom-always changing massage is the best option.

I have a lot of knowledge working on lower back pain, neck pain, and Knee Pain for years. I have specialized experience with acl injuries, rotator cuff, and lower back alignment issues.

Boxing and Massage in Las Vegas.

adriank — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 20:41:47 +0000

I suppose that being a massage therapist in Las Vegas — the boxing capital in the world, — it was only a matter of time until I would work on a boxer. I have now had the opportunity to work on several.

Boxers present a unique opportunity, their physical well being is a huge factor, because pain and loss of range of motion can hamper and even end careers. My program for boxers includes relieving pressure in the shoulders, arms and upper back. I focus on the pecs and biceps, taking time to strip each muscle out to encourage blood flow and waste removal.

As By Thomas L. Cramer, P.M.T. & certified personal fitness trainer points out, “Therapeutic massage can benefit boxers”

The traps and upper back are stripped out, focusing on the area between the shoulder blades. Next is the lower back, glute area. I use a lot of deep tissue and trigger point work to free up any stuck muscles and relaxing any overworked ones.

I do extra work on the neck, helping head movement and defense. I also have a great routine for the calves and quads that get worked hard while running. I am a boxing fan and love the sport.

If you are a boxer or gym and want someone who can come to you, I offer special rates.

Therapeutic Massage For Playing a Better Game of Tennis

Tennis Massage

Tennis Massage? What is that and why>

Knee Relief Tennis affects all parts of the body, but the knee tends to be the main problem area. One cause is the constant side to side movement that tennis requires.

This tightens and strengthens the lateral side of the leg pulling the knee and kneecap outwards. This weakens and tightens the muscles on the inside and back of the leg causing a muscle imbalance.

This causes pain on the front and side of the knee as well as hip and back pain. Massage helps this by loosening the muscles on the outside of the leg, promoting circulation and relaxing overworked muscles. Most of the massage is deep tissue with some trigger point worked in.

I met one tennis player, the sister of a man I treat for repetitive stress problems from sitting and stressing out at his computer.

when I worked on her, it helped relieve the pain and stress of an injury on the court. Soon, I was working on an entire group of tennis players and they all enjoy better movement with my work.

I Come to Your Home or Business with my portable Massage table and work on you where you are.

Lower Back Massage Part 1

adriank — Sat, 08 May 2010 01:27:24 +0000

A lot of clients will ask for extra lower back work or for the massage to be just on their back, but there is a lot more involved than just a good back massage.

There are numerous muscles that attach to the pelvis and thus effect the lower back. A good lower back massage should address most of the major structures involved, including the hip flexors, hamstrings, adductors, the gluteals, and the quadratus muscles.

If any of these muscles are tight they can affect pelvic alignment and cause other muscles to be overactive in contracted and stretched tension. Any good massage would cover these muscles. I will go over technique and application of each area this blog progresses.

Being a Massage Therapist in Las Vegas.

adriank — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 23:13:51 +0000

Being a massage therapist in las vegas is a very interesting occupation. I should also say its an interesting business being we must carry business licenses and liability insurance.

First of all a little background, I am a male massage therapist that grew up in San Jose, CA. I first started learning massage in Santa Cruz, CA under the instruction of two Rolfers (A structural massage system). The instruction was very hands on, helping me to understand the different levels of touch, the different techniques, and a great understanding of anatomy.

About 4 years ago I move to Las Vegas, so I continued my education at the Nevada School of Massage Therapy learning a few more techniques and learning a lot more detailed anatomy with the help of the cadaver labs. During my schooling I realized that the structural, deep tissue and injury modalities offered the most benefit to client.

Luckily enough I was able to sign on at a Manual Physical Therapy clinic and learn more techniques and modalities under the supervision and training of Doctor of Physical therapy and certified manual therapist. I’ve continually trained under the doctor learning how to work on a variety of injuries, surgeries, and chronic pain conditions.

Next blog I’ll talk about the massage schooling, testing, licensing and the other fun stuff it takes to be a licensed massage therapist in Las Vegas.

Injury Massage In Las Vegas

adriank — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 23:06:50 +0000

Injury massage depends on the severity and progress of the injury/chronic pain. Recent injuries need to be treated with care and use more blood and fluid moving techniques and light deep tissue to sweep out waste and encourage fresh blood flow to the injury.

A healed or mostly healed injury can use more pressure and techniques including trigger point and hydrotherapy work. Manual stretching and awareness exercises can also assist with the injury.
