Featuring Sports Massage Therapist Matt Crauder

Whether you’re a CrossFit champ, a weekend hiker, or just pushing yourself at the gym, your body needs more than rest daysโ€”it needs recovery. Thatโ€™s where sports massage comes in.

At Blue Tiger Massage in Beaverton, we specialize in helping athletes and active individuals feel and perform their best. And when it comes to sports massage, Matt Crauder is one of the best in the game.


What Is Sports Massage?

Sports massage isnโ€™t just about relaxationโ€”itโ€™s a targeted, results-driven approach designed to:

  • Speed up muscle recovery
  • Reduce soreness and inflammation
  • Improve range of motion and flexibility
  • Prevent injury
  • Support post-injury rehab

Matt integrates deep tissue, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release to help clients get back in the gameโ€”faster and stronger.


Meet Matt: Your Sports Massage Specialist

Mattโ€™s journey into bodywork started long before massage school. As a teen, he helped his mom recover from spinal surgery, learning hands-on techniques directly from a chiropractor. That early exposure gave him a deep, intuitive understanding of how the body worksโ€”and how to help it heal.

Clients say Mattโ€™s ability to โ€œread the bodyโ€ is uncanny. His sessions are intuitive yet clinical, creative yet grounded. He doesnโ€™t just chase symptomsโ€”he listens, he feels, and he solves.

Whether youโ€™re dealing with:

  • IT band syndrome
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Low back pain
  • Shoulder stiffness
  • or just general wear and tear from trainingโ€”

Mattโ€™s hands-on expertise can help restore function and reduce pain.


Who Is This For?

Sports massage is for more than just pro athletes. Youโ€™ll benefit if you:

โœ… Regularly work out or train
โœ… Sit at a desk all day and experience tension
โœ… Have an old injury that never quite healed
โœ… Need support before or after a race or competition
โœ… Want to improve your posture or performance


What Clients Are Saying

“Matt is incredible. Iโ€™ve had chronic shoulder and hip tightness for years, and after one session I felt immediate relief. He explained what was going on in my body in a way no one else had. I felt empowered, cared for, and finally on a path to healing.” โ€” Client Testimonial
