Get answers to common questions about Sports Massage.

During your first session we perform a brief intake and movement assessment, then use targeted techniques—compression, cupping, IASTM, assisted stretching—tailored to your needs. Pressure varies with comfort and goals. Practitioners will advise on post-treatment care and recovery recommendations.

Frequency depends on training intensity, goals and recovery needs. Competitive athletes often benefit from weekly or biweekly sessions during heavy training, while recreational athletes may schedule monthly or pre-/post-event treatments. We personalize a plan based on your sport and workload.

Yes. Pre-event sports massage focuses on dynamic warm-up, light percussion, assisted stretching and brief compression to increase circulation and mobility without causing fatigue. Therapists avoid deep, aggressive techniques immediately before competition to preserve peak performance.

Mild soreness, fatigue, or temporary bruising (especially after cupping or IASTM) can occur for 24–72 hours. These are normal signs the tissues are responding. We recommend hydration, gentle movement and rest; contact us if severe pain or unusual symptoms persist.

Absolutely. Our therapists integrate compression therapy, dynamic cupping, IASTM, percussion and vibration therapies, assisted stretching, and tailored recovery protocols into your session. Combining modalities enhances results and we design each treatment to match your training schedule and therapeutic goals.

Usually no referral required. However, disclose medical conditions, recent surgeries, or blood thinners during intake. For complex injuries or post-op cases we may recommend coordination with your physician or physical therapist to ensure safe, effective treatment planning and contraindications are addressed.
