Unlike traditional relaxation massage, sports massage employs targeted techniques including deep tissue work, stretching, and compression to address the specific needs of athletic performance. Our certified therapists understand the biomechanics of Boston's most popular sports and tailor treatments to support your training regimen and competitive goals.

Pre-Event vs. Post-Event Sports Massage Protocols

Our sports massage protocols are specifically tailored to your training and competition schedule:

  1. Pre-Event Massage (24-48 hours before competition): Light to moderate pressure focusing on warming muscles, increasing circulation, and reducing pre-competition anxiety
  2. Post-Event Massage (within 2-6 hours after competition): Gentle techniques to reduce swelling, flush metabolic waste, and prevent muscle soreness
  3. Maintenance Massage (during training periods): Deep tissue work to address specific problem areas and prevent overuse injuries
  4. Rehabilitation Massage (during injury recovery): Targeted therapy to promote healing and restore function

What Should Boston Athletes Expect During Sports Massage?

Your sports massage session begins with a comprehensive assessment of your training status, upcoming competitions, and any areas of concern or previous injuries.

Our therapists evaluate your posture, movement patterns, and muscle tension to identify potential problem areas before they become injuries. The massage technique and intensity are adjusted based on where you are in your training cycle, ensuring optimal benefits without interfering with your performance goals.
