We review your physical activity, focus zones, tight spots, and specific recovery goals prior to treatment.
Targeted Deep Tissue & Friction Work

Passive stretches release tight hamstrings, hips, or shoulders, followed by a warm towel compress to soothe tissues.
Plan your visit
Preparation and aftercare
Before your appointment
- Hydrate well prior to your session to ensure muscle tissue is pliable and responsive to deep pressure.
- Avoid heavy meals within 1 hour of your appointment for optimal comfort during targeted pressure work.
After your appointment
- Drink plenty of water over the next 24 to 48 hours to help flush out released metabolic waste.
- Avoid intense heavy training sessions for 12 to 24 hours post-massage to allow treated muscles time to adapt and repair.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
Is a sports massage only for professional athletes?
Not at all! While designed for active individuals, a sports massage is equally beneficial for anyone suffering from chronic posture tightness, desk job neck/shoulder pain, or physical labor strain.
What is the difference between a Swedish massage and a sports massage?
Swedish massage uses gentle to medium pressure focused primarily on general relaxation. A sports massage uses firm, deep pressure, trigger point work, and stretching to address specific muscle tightness and dysfunction.
Will a 60-minute sports massage hurt or cause soreness afterwards?
You may experience a 'good hurt' sensation during deep knot work, as well as mild muscle tenderness for 24 to 48 hours afterwards (similar to a workout feel) as your muscles adapt and heal.
Should I get a sports massage before or after a competition/race?
Post-event sessions (or 48+ hours before an event) are best. A post-event massage aids rapid recovery, whereas deep work immediately before an event can temporarily decrease explosive muscle force.
How long does a 60-minute sports massage session take?
The session lasts a full 60 minutes, allowing dedicated time for targeted deep tissue manipulation and assisted stretching across your primary focus zones.
