We offer several specialized treatments for athletes:
Sports Massage: Focuses on specific muscle groups used in your sport to release tension, improve flexibility, and enhance recovery.
Pre-Event Massage: A lighter, stimulating massage designed to prepare muscles for competition without causing fatigue, typically scheduled 2-3 days before your event.
Reiki: A gentle energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and complements physical training by addressing mental fatigue.
Neuromuscular Therapy: A targeted technique that addresses specific trigger points and muscle imbalances, particularly helpful for chronic issues and injury prevention.
For the best experience, we recommend the following:
– Stay hydrated before your session
– Avoid heavy meals 1-2 hours before your appointment
– Arrive 5-10 minutes early to complete any paperwork
– Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment
– Consider showering before your session, especially after training
You’ll be properly draped during your session, and your therapist will step out of the room while you get ready.
The ideal frequency depends on your training volume, intensity, and individual needs. For most endurance athletes, we recommend:
– Maintenance: Every 2-4 weeks during regular training
– Peak training: Weekly or bi-weekly during high-volume periods
– Pre-competition: 2-5 days before important events
– Recovery: 2-3 days after major competitions
Our therapists can help create a personalized schedule based on your specific needs and training calendar.
Sports massage differs from regular massage in several key ways:
– It’s specifically focused on the muscle groups most used in your sport
– Techniques are tailored to either prepare for activity or enhance recovery
– It often includes assessment of muscular imbalances and movement patterns
– Pressure is typically deeper and more targeted to address athletic needs
– Sessions may include stretching techniques and range of motion assessment
Our sports massage therapists understand the specific demands of endurance sports and common problem areas for runners, cyclists, and triathletes.
For recovery-focused sports massage:
– Best scheduled after training sessions
– Allow at least 2-3 hours between intense training and your massage
– Consider light activity the day after a deep tissue massage
For pre-event massage:
– Schedule 2-3 days before your competition
– Light training is fine on the same day
– Avoid intense training immediately after
For maintenance massage during heavy training blocks, we recommend scheduling on easier training days or rest days to maximize benefits.
