Sports Massage FAQ
-
Answer: For a deep "tune-up" (Deep Tissue or Myofascial Release), we recommend scheduling your session 3 to 5 days before your event. This allows any residual soreness to fade, leaving your muscles pliable and ready. If you are looking for a light, stimulating "flush" to increase circulation, this can be done as late as 24 hours before you compete.
-
Answer: For optimal recovery, the best window is 24 to 48 hours after intense exertion. This is when Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) typically peaks. A post-event sports massage focuses on lymphatic drainage and gentle stretching to flush metabolic waste and reduce inflammation, helping you return to training faster.
-
Answer: Yes. Our therapists use targeted techniques like Trigger Point Therapy and Cross-Friction Massage to break up adhesions and scar tissue associated with common overuse injuries. Whether you’re a runner on the W&OD Trail or a soccer player at Hanson Park, we customize the session to address your specific injury and prevent future re-injury.
-
Answer: While massage isn't a substitute for training, it optimizes the environment for performance. By improving joint range of motion, increasing muscle elasticity, and reducing mental "pre-race" anxiety, you are able to move more efficiently and with a higher degree of focus.
-
Answer: Not at all. Sports massage is simply "functional" massage. If you have shoulder stiffness after 18 holes at Belmont Country Club or "tennis elbow" from the courts in Lansdowne, we use sports techniques to restore your mobility. We always adjust the pressure to your comfort level.
