I'm Robbie Dykes, massage therapist in Little Rock. I've been in practice since 2010 and I specialize in deep tissue massage and stretching for people who play sports. No frills or pampering, just excellent bodywork. With less oooh and more ouch, sports massage relieves tight painful muscles, by pinning, stripping and stretching through knotted tissues in order to release and stabilize them.
I've trained in sports massage, medical massage and the traditional Swedish of course. No matter your activity level, chances are good that I can adapt to your needs. I'm a tennis player and member of the USTA. I moved to Little Rock in 2005 after serving in the Navy. I am a licensed master massage therapist and certified practitioner of Active Isolated Stretching.

This is true deep tissue/sports work. If you’re looking for a relaxing, comforting massage, keep looking. If you’re looking for muscle and tissue work that makes a genuine difference in your athleticism, you won’t find a better place. Robbie is a gifted, no-nonsense massage therapist. Whether it’s specific injury/ sticking point or general maintenance, Robbie’s the man! Highly recommend to my fellow Crossfitters or other athletes that are tough on their bodies. He’s also in expert on stretching which warrants an entire session of its own. You won’t be disappointed, a little sore maybe

Never had much work done before for recovery and healing and I spend at least 5 days a week in the gym. Decided to give deep tissue massage a try and was extremely satisfied with the results. Robbie definitely knows what he’s doing and is super professional and knowledgeable, highly recommend!!

I went to Robbie with a muscle problem in my back that I had had for 2 years. No one had been able to give me any relief until Robbie helped me. He also advised me on stretches and exercises I could do to prevent the problem from coming back. He really impressed me with his knowledge about muscles and tendons and how to release them. I will seek him out in the future for regular maintenance. He is a godsend!

I have known Robbie for many years and have learned so much personally with his work. As a massage therapist myself sports massage and stretching helps the body move better, perform better, and recover as it was intended to do. His work and knowledge is unmatched when it comes to making you a better you. I highly recommend him for his amazing body work!

Who says sports massages are fun?! The fun comes in when you are back on the court or in the field playing the sport you love — thanks to Robbie. Through Robbie’s multiple trainings he is able to deliver relief where needed or provide regular proven stretching protocols to prevent injury and improve mobility. I have been a client, a senior one at that, for multiple years particularly addressing shoulder concerns. My intention is to continue to use the services of RD Sports Massage.

I had some lingering pain and soreness in my knees and ankles after long distance hiking and Robbie was able to help with both short term relief and also discussed with me longer term mitigation strategies.
Robbie was great - he took the time to understand my specific concerns and issues and I didn't feel like the process was rushed or that I was "just another patient". I've never been to a massage therapist before, so I was a bit anxious, but I felt right at ease within 5 minutes.
Would definitely recommend a visit!

Rob is extremely gifted at sports massage/deep tissue work and active isolated stretching. He is very knowledgeable on how the muscles interconnect and affect one another. He is very thorough, takes his time and both communicates with you and uses his intuition to do great work. I've had issues with my back and he has been a huge help with the deep tissue work he has done. I continue going back. He will get you results!
