Tammy Marquez, LMT
Sports massage therapist, competitive bodybuilder, and owner of Kinetix Body Science. Three decades of practice, treating clients from professional athletes to everyday Austinites who use their bodies hard.
The work
Tammy founded Kinetix Body Science to do the kind of sports massage that most clinics don't. The standard sports massage in Austin is, in practice, a regular massage with more pressure. The work here is different by design: assessment-led, technique-stacked, and informed by 30+ years of treating elite athletes whose bodies don't tolerate generic work.
"Working with high-level athletes has exposed me to some of the most cutting-edge modalities in the field. Being a competitive bodybuilder and athlete myself, I understand the importance of proper recovery to maintain an injury-free lifestyle."
The client list over three decades has included athletes from the NFL, NBA, Track and Field, professional bodybuilding, weightlifting, and CrossFit, as well as recreational athletes, weekend warriors, desk workers with chronic tension, and people working through long-running injuries.

Philosophy
Massage is a tool, not a treatment plan. The job of a good sports massage therapist is to identify what the tissue actually needs, apply the right technique, and send you home with the cues to make the work stick. Sessions at Kinetix are assessment-first, technique-stacked, and built around the principle that recovery is part of training, not separate from it.

“The attention to detail by Tammy at Kinetix Body Science is exceptional. When I was preparing for Weightlifting World Championships and the Olympics, she identified the root cause of my pain and developed a treatment strategy that addressed both the immediate discomfort and the underlying biomechanical issues.”
