Sports massage isn't the same as a relaxing rub-down. It's targeted work on the muscles you actually use — flushing out metabolic waste, breaking down scar tissue, releasing tension in overworked areas before it turns into an injury. We've been doing this kind of work since 2015, with everyone from recreational runners to competitive athletes.
Sessions happen at your home, hotel or wherever it makes sense. You don't lose time driving to a clinic.

What sports massage actually does
Regular sports massage reduces muscle soreness after training and speeds up recovery between sessions. It also catches problems early — tight spots in the IT band, early-stage rotator cuff tension, overloaded calves — before they become proper injuries. Most athletes notice better range of motion in the hips and shoulders over time, which tends to show up as improved movement quality in training.
When to book
Pre-event work is best done 24–48 hours before a big session or competition, not on the day itself — you want the muscle activation without lingering soreness. Post-event sessions work best within 24 hours, while muscles are still warm and responsive. For ongoing maintenance, every 2–4 weeks is a reasonable rhythm for most people training 4–5 times a week.
Common questions
How painful is sports massage?
Pressure is always adjusted to what you can handle. Areas with significant tension will feel like real pressure — which is different from pain — but we check in throughout and dial it back if needed. If something feels wrong, say so.
When should I avoid sports massage?
Skip it if you have acute inflammation, a fever, an active infection, or a fresh injury with significant swelling. If you're unsure, describe your situation when you call and we'll advise you honestly.
