Sports Massage FAQs
What is a sports massage?
Sports massage is a type of soft tissue therapy that focuses on relieving tension, improving mobility, and supporting recovery from exercise or injury. It uses specific techniques to target muscles, tendons, and connective tissue.
Can I exercise after a sports massage?
It depends on the intensity of your massage. Light activity such as walking or mobility work is fine, but we recommend waiting 24 hours before intense training to allow your body to recover.
Does a sports massage hurt?
Sports massage can involve firm pressure, which may feel uncomfortable at times, especially on tight or sore areas. However, it should never feel unbearable — your therapist will always work within your tolerance.
How often should I have a sports massage?
This varies depending on your activity level and goals. Many athletes benefit from regular sessions (every 2–4 weeks), while others book massage as needed during periods of training or recovery.
