MEET THE THERAPIST
I’m Osiel Alvarez, LMT, owner of Elite Athletic Bodywork. For more than 12 years, I’ve specialized in sports massage, therapeutic bodywork, and recovery for athletes, lifters, and active individuals who place high demands on their bodies.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with everyone from dedicated gym goers and competitive athletes to collegiate and professional athletes. My experience includes years of working with Baylor athletes and traveling with Baylor Men’s Tennis, providing hands on therapy to support recovery, mobility, and performance.
I created Elite Athletic Bodywork to offer something beyond the typical massage experience. I don’t believe in one size fits all sessions or simply applying deep pressure for the sake of pressure. Every session is intentional and customized around your body, your training, and your goals.
Whether you’re pushing for your next PR, preparing for competition, recovering from demanding training, or simply want your body to move and feel better, my goal is to provide the level of bodywork your lifestyle demands.
Performance focused. Recovery driven. Built around you.
MEET THE THERAPIST
What You Can Expect
Every session at Elite Athletic Bodywork is customized to you. Before we begin, we’ll discuss how your body is feeling, areas that need attention, your activity or training demands, and what you want to get out of your session.
My approach combines therapeutic, recovery focused bodywork with an experience that still allows you to relax and decompress. This isn’t a routine, one size fits all massage. Pressure, techniques, and areas of focus are adjusted throughout the session based on what your body needs.
Depending on your goals, your session may incorporate sports massage, deep tissue work, trigger point therapy, myofascial techniques, stretching, heat, and other recovery methods. I’ll also communicate with you throughout the session when needed to make sure the pressure and techniques are effective and comfortable.
Whether you’re coming in for athletic recovery, muscular tension, mobility, or simply to give your body a much needed reset, you can expect focused, professional bodywork in a private and comfortable environment.
Come in ready to recover. Leave feeling restored, mobile, and ready for what’s next.
Why This Isn’t a Spa
Elite Athletic Bodywork isn’t a spa, and it was never designed to be one.
I created this space for people who want more from their massage than a standard relaxation experience. My work is centered around recovery, mobility, muscular function, and performance, with each session tailored to what your body actually needs.
You won’t find a predetermined massage routine here. I work specifically with your areas of tension, movement restrictions, training demands, and recovery goals. Your session may combine sports massage, deep tissue work, myofascial techniques, trigger point therapy, stretching, cupping, heat, and other therapeutic methods when appropriate.
That doesn’t mean you can’t relax. In fact, I believe effective therapeutic work should help your nervous system decompress while addressing the physical demands placed on your body.
The difference is intent.
You’re not simply booking time on a massage table. You’re investing in focused bodywork designed around your body, your lifestyle, and your performance.
Where therapeutic work meets recovery, relaxation, and performance.
