Frequently Asked Questions
Should I get this massage before or after my race?
Both are beneficial. Pre-event focuses on circulation and activation, while post-event focuses on flushing metabolic waste and reducing muscle soreness.
Will sports massage help prevent future injuries?
Yes. By identifying areas of high tension or restricted mobility early, we can address imbalances before they lead to a strain or overuse injury.
Can I get a sports massage if I currently have a muscle strain?
It depends on the severity. We do not work on acute 'Grade 3' tears, but for minor strains, specialized techniques can actually speed up the healing process.
What should I wear for a sports massage?
Many clients prefer to remain in athletic shorts or leggings, as this modality often involves active or passive stretching during the session.
Does sports massage include stretching?
Yes, we often integrate PNF or passive stretching to improve joint flexibility and functional range of motion as part of the recovery process.
