My name is Sharyn Swonson, licensed massage therapist since 2001 and owner of Colorado Springs Athletic Massage. I specialize in the relief of pain, injury, and post-op recovery. I have completed 1150 hours at Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy and am certified in Neuromuscular Therapy and Manual Lymph Drainage. I continually participate in advanced education regarding anatomy, biomechanics, and the magnificent layers of the body. I have gained extensive experience over the years working with physical therapists and chiropractors and have been named The Gazette's "2010 Best Massage Therapist in Colorado Springs”. Being an active mom of 3 and having experienced multiple broken bones and surgeries in the past, I understand the pain and stress associated with injury and post-op recovery. In 2019, I decided to open up my own studio to offer the best possible pain relief for my clients.
My clients know me as more of an "investigator” as I am excellent at finding the root causes of their afflictions as opposed to just treating the symptoms.
When I reached my 15th year in my practice, I wanted to further increase my knowledge of how the body moves. I fell in love with the practice of Pilates and went on to become certified as a Pilates teacher in 2015. Pilates is a perfect complement to massage as it educates students on posture and balance through core strength and endurance. Massage allows me to help my clients with healing, while Pilates educates clients on how to heal and maintain themselves.
Outside of work, I love to hang out with my kiddos and two dogs, travel, and ballroom dance. I look forward to connecting with you.
