Expert Massage Therapy Tailored to Your Well-Being
Michael's Sports Massage was Est. 2014 I've worked with 1000s of people to help them understand their bodies and help them to improve.
Hi, My names Michael Roulston (Mike) Here's a little history on me and what I do.
I have been working as a massage therapist for the past 18 years. I started out in the field working for Spa and Salons. My first job was in a spa in Boothbay Habor ME. After that I came back to Massachusetts and began work at another spa in Northampton MA. Then I moved here to Boston and began work in Harvard square at another Spa and Salon. Working at spa and salons gave me the opportunity to work with all different types of people with all sorts of different problems.
My work will give you insight into your body, helping you understand what is causing the issues, and ways to make sure that the issue is dealt with. I specialize in Sports massage, Deep tissue, and Trigger point therapy.
When I was 13 I knew I wanted to a massage therapist. I could tell when someone was stressed or really clinched up and needed to let things go. When I would help my friends with a tight shoulder or a crink in there neck, they would ask me, "how did I know how to do that?" I told them I could see it and when I was working on them I could feel there knots.
When I finished high school, I went for an archeaological dig in Spain and then came back to do some odd jobs that didn't fit with what I wanted to do. I went to massage school and found that this was my calling. After 11 months I graduated in 2008 and became a licensed massage therapist.
While in massage school I found a love for working with athletes. I grew up playing all sports, so I gravitated to the sports end of the massage field because I was already aware of the types of aliments that come from those types of actives.
Endorsements of Proven Performance
I have been very fortunate to have met Michael Roulston. He is my colleague, (I am a massage therapist too), and he is my massage therapist. I will begin by mentioning that I have long been suffering as a very tight, muscle bound person since my early teenage years. It is this discomfort that has led me to be passionate about massage. I have been helped by many therapists over the years, but because of the degree of the deep muscle tightness I experience, Michael as my massage therapist, is truly the best match for me. It is amazing how Michael can pinpoint specific muscles, and no matter how deep and tight they are, he gets in there and gets results. What I like the most about Michael's work is his dedication to helping me find true relief from tension. He does not start to relax a muscle and then move on to another muscle group, he says committed to each muscle, helping it release to its full potential. This goes for tiny muscles as well as the larger ones! I have been helped a great deal by this skilled, dedicated, strong young man. I recommend him highly to anyone in search of a satisfying, deep therapeutic massage. I know Michael will help many other people find relief from their tension as he does for me.

I have had the pleasure of working alongside Michael as a fellow massage therapist, as well as many opportunities to receive his wonderful care as a professional body worker. Michael brings to his craft a vast knowledge of muscle groupings and physiology, his confident, easy going manner, and his dedication to delivering professional client centered sessions. I have had great personal success being able to resolve some long standing sports injuries through receiving body work from Michael.

Michael Roulston has been massaging me for over a year now, his techniques have aided me in recovery from several injuries as well as everyday aches and pains. My life as an athlete often wears on me weather from hours in the weight room, jogging another 5k or training for fight tournaments I am often aching and stiff. Michael is not the only massage therapist I have worked with, but his deep tissue techniques have definitely been the most effective and he will be my go to guy when I need to prepare for another day of training.

This is a letter of recommendation for Michael Roulston. I had the pleasure of working closely with Michael for over one year in the massage therapy field. As a former massage school instructor and practitioner within the field for over twelve years I can say that Michael has the necessary skills to be successful within the field.
Michael's enthusiasm and thoughtfulness are infectious. He has the desire to pursue further clinical education and continue to learn and grow within the field. He would make an excellent addition to any clinical team especially soft tissue rehabilitation and sports fitness.
It has been a pleasure working with Michael and I wish him success in his future endeavors.
