National Capital Area Sports Massage Team

The National Capital Area Sports Massage Team is the only organization in the area to facilitate the integration of massage practitioners into the training programs of local athletes.

Our goal is to give you ACCESS to certified sports massage therapists and high caliber events; the OPPORTUNITY to connect with an individual therapist or hire our team to work your event as well as INFORMATION about the most appropriate kinds of sports massage.

NCASMT offers sports massage therapy for participants at various athletic events. Sports massage is a unique branch of bodywork designed to enhance athletic performance and recovery. See About Sports Massage for more specific information.

The team has worked at events such as The Marine Corps Marathon, The Oxford Triathlon, The National Capital Open Bicycle Race, The Chesapeake Bay Swim Race, The Mobil Invitational Track and Field Meet, The Multiple Sclerosis 150K Bike Ride, The Reston Triathlon, The Army 10 Miler, The Tyson's 10K Run for the Vienna Women's Shelter, The National Wheelchair Games, The American Cancer Relay, The Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run and The National Arm Wrestling Championships. Some of our members have been on the Sports Massage Teams for the Summer and Winter Olympics and the Paralympics.

We also work with athletic clubs such as The Montgomery County Road Runners, The Reston Running Club and The Happy Trails Running Club. The NCASMT is unique in that we donate 10% of our profits from an event back to the non-profit group hosting the event (all arrangements for donations must be made prior to the event). A letter of thanks from The National Multiple Sclerosis Society illustrates our commitment to this.

The NCASMT was established in 1986 under the leadership of Cary Bland, Elliot Greene, Arch Harrison and Curt Millar as a non-profit organization. Team members live in Washington D.C., Virginia, Maryland, southern Pennsylvania and southern Delaware. See Directory for a list of member practitioners.
