Get answers to common questions about Sports Massage - 60 Mins.

A 60-minute Sports Massage includes a brief intake, focused warm-up, targeted deep tissue and dynamic techniques across the whole body, and post-treatment recommendations. We prioritize areas of tension, mobility restrictions, and recovery strategies tailored to your sport and goals.

Both. Before activity it increases blood flow and mobility, preparing muscles for performance. After exercise it accelerates recovery, reduces soreness, and helps clear metabolic waste. Your therapist will adjust pressure and techniques depending on timing and your immediate needs.

Intensity varies by client preference and clinical need. We communicate throughout to maintain effective pressure without causing undue pain. Techniques range from gentle mobilizations to deeper targeted work for chronic tightness, always balancing therapeutic benefit and comfort.

Certain acute injuries, open wounds, contagious illnesses, recent fractures, or uncontrolled hypertension may contraindicate treatment. Inform your therapist of medical history and current medications; they will advise modifications or recommend physician clearance when necessary.

Frequency depends on your training load and recovery needs. Athletes often schedule weekly or biweekly sessions during heavy training, and monthly maintenance during lighter periods. We'll develop a plan based on goals, soreness patterns, and performance requirements.

Wear comfortable clothing, hydrate well, and arrive a few minutes early for intake. Avoid a heavy meal immediately before the session. Share recent injuries, medications, and performance goals so we can customize your treatment effectively.
