Hydration and light recovery activity are recommended; inform your therapist about recent injuries or surgeries.

We offer 30-, 60-, and 90-minute sessions. Athletes commonly choose 60–90 minutes for thorough assessment, Tui Na mobilizations, and cupping work. Session length depends on injury complexity, training schedule, and recovery goals; therapists will advise an optimal frequency and duration.

Yes. Avoid treatment with active infections, open wounds, recent fractures, uncontrolled blood pressure, or suspected blood clots. Pregnancy and certain cardiac conditions require medical clearance. Always disclose medications, surgeries, and current symptoms so therapists can modify techniques and ensure safety.
