Questions
What conditions can sports massage treat?
Sports massage effectively addresses muscular tension, sports injuries, postural imbalances, and repetitive strain injuries. It also helps with stress-related tension and recovery from physical exertion.
How often should I get a massage?
For general maintenance, every 4-6 weeks is recommended. Those with specific injuries or intense training schedules may benefit from weekly sessions initially.
Is deep tissue massage painful?
Some discomfort may occur during treatment of chronic knots, but pressure is adjusted to individual tolerance. Most clients report significant relief after sessions.
Do you offer treatments for non-athletes?
Yes, our services benefit anyone with muscular discomfort. Common clients include office workers, parents, and individuals with sedentary lifestyles experiencing everyday aches.
What should I wear to a session?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows access to treatment areas. You'll be appropriately draped during sessions to maintain comfort and privacy.
Can massage help with injury recovery?
Yes, our treatments accelerate healing by improving blood flow, reducing scar tissue formation, and restoring normal muscle function. We often work alongside physiotherapists for comprehensive care.
