Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be an athlete to have a sports massage?
Not at all. Sports massage is beneficial for anyone suffering from postural tension, occupational stress, or muscular discomfort—regardless of your athletic background or fitness level.
Is sports massage painful?
You may experience brief moments of therapeutic pressure when localized tension is targeted. Our practitioners continuously communicate with you to ensure the pressure remains within your preferred comfort threshold.
How long is the appointment?
Standard focused sports massage appointments run for 30 targeted minutes. Extended sessions are also available upon request for multi-area treatment plans.
Can I have a sports massage after exercise?
Yes, sports massage is an excellent component of a post-training recovery plan. Depending on the intensity of your exercise, your therapist will modify techniques to promote circulation without stress to fatigued muscle fibers.
Should I choose sports massage or physiotherapy?
If you are dealing with acute pain, an undiagnosed injury, or joint limitation, a Physiotherapy consultation is recommended. If your primary goal is muscular tension release or athletic recovery, Sports Massage is ideal.
