Mary Riley used to watch NFL football games for enjoyment.

 

Now she watches them for work.

 

Riley, a licensed massage therapist, has several Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions players as clients. Some visit her Synergy Sports Massage studio in the Helwig’s Whistle Stop retail/office complex on West Bagley Road.

 

“I look at their body mechanics, what they were doing when they got hit, what created that injury. I am looking at all the little details,” Riley said. “I do tape the games and rewind them. I want to see the hit and then formulate a plan before I see (clients). This gives me a ‘heads up’ on what they may need in terms of the massage.”

 

The Berea resident realized the importance of massage after finally finding relief a few years ago from an injury she had suffered in seventh grade.

 

“I had constant pain and it was getting progressively worse,” she said. “While working in Alaska, I found relief through (sports) massage. I have been pain-free since.”

 

She moved back to Ohio and realized it was difficult for professional athletes, triathletes and “weekend warriors” to find a knowledgeable massage therapist. That is when she decided to enter that field.

 

Her second-floor studio has four regular massage rooms and one couples’ room. She also provides Ashiatsu massage, which is an Oriental deep therapy in which the masseuse, holding onto ceiling bars, walks on the client’s back in bare feet.

 

The studio also has video entertainment equipment and a Sonos sound system where clients may play their preferred music during a massage.

 

Sports massages usually last 1½ to 2 hours. Riley also offers regular massages, which last from 1 to 1½ hours.

 

“I discourage anything less than one hour,” she said. “It takes you five minutes to relax and that gives only 25 minutes for a ‘30-minute’ massage. That just isn’t enough time to relax and let the massage really work.”

 

Riley also brings a second element into her studio, AntiGravity Yoga. She said it is the first such registered trademark class in the Midwest.

 

This style of yoga uses silk hammocks, which are connected from two overhead points that act like a swing or soft trapeze. Students learn to fly, hold and balance themselves in challenging yoga poses. The use of the hammock gives students the chance to hold poses longer, gain better kinesthetic awareness, build cardiovascular and muscular strength, become more flexible, increase joint mobility, decompress the vertebrae of the spine without strain, and utilize the agility they’ve gained from yoga to play with gravity.
