Is this treatment right for me?
Share the areas that need attention, preferred pressure and relevant injuries or health concerns before the treatment begins.
What this service offers
Breaks Down Scar Tissue & Knots
Deep cross-fiber friction loosens micro-adhesions in muscle fibers to restore natural muscle elasticity.
Improves Range of Motion & Flexibility
Combines targeted pressure with passive stretching to release tight joints and improve athletic performance.
Helps Prevent Training Injuries
Identifies and relieves localized muscle tightness before it leads to strains, sprains, or compensation injuries.
What to expect
Discuss the activity and injury history
Explain the sport and area you want addressed. A sports massage does not replace assessment of an injury.
Give feedback during the massage
The therapist works on the agreed soft tissues and adjusts pressure to your feedback. A massage should not require pushing through pain.
Preparation and aftercare
Before your appointment
- Mention recent injury, surgery, clotting concerns and any condition that may affect safe pressure.
- Tell the therapist about product sensitivities and the position in which you are comfortable.
After your appointment
- Take your time getting up and adjust activity to how you feel; massage is not a proven toxin-removal treatment.
- Persistent or concerning pain needs appropriate assessment. Do not use another massage to delay care for a medical problem.

FAQs
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.
