Sports massage provides many benefits including reduced muscle tension, enhanced flexibility, increased blood flow, quicker recovery, and overall injury prevention. It's ideal to maintain peak performance for athletes or anyone with an active lifestyle.
Absolutely not! Sports massage benefits anyone who engages in physical activity, like manual labourers, gardeners, runners, cyclists, or even weekend warriors. It helps alleviate muscle tightness and minor aches and pains.
Your therapist will have you fill out a form about your health history and activity levels. They'll then use various massage techniques like effleurage, petrissage, trigger point therapy, and stretching to target areas of muscle tension, release lactic acid, and increase flexibility.
Frequency depends on your goals and activity levels. For maintenance, once a month is sufficient for most. Right before an event, a weekly massage promotes peak performance. During training periods, every 2-3 weeks helps sustain your regimen.
It's best to wait at least an hour after exercise to allow your body to cool down. Sports massage is more beneficial after vs. directly before activity. Schedule sessions when your body needs help recovering.
Most insurance plans don't cover sports massage. We offer reasonable self-pay rates. Many athletes and active individuals invest in regular massage because it's so beneficial for performance, muscle recovery, and injury prevention.
Some muscle soreness can occur after massage. Your therapist will adjust the pressure based on your feedback. While parts may feel tender, the session should not be intensely painful. Any discomfort felt means you really needed that massage!
