What to Expect at Your Sport Massage Appointment
Whether you’re training at Millennium Place, running around Broadmoor Lake Park, or recovering after a game at Old Strathcona Sports Centre, our sport massage is designed to keep you moving.
Each session starts with a quick assessment so your therapist can understand your goals and focus on the areas that need it most. Depending on your needs, techniques may include deep tissue work, myofascial release, or sport taping. Pre-event sessions are more energizing to prepare your muscles, while post-event treatments focus on recovery and reducing soreness.
Some tenderness is normal during deeper work, so communication with your therapist is key. After your massage, expect to feel more balanced and refreshed. You’ll also leave with simple stretches or recovery tips to support your progress—whether it’s for your next workout, run on the Heritage Trail, or weekend competition.
Before Your Sport Massage Appointment
o get the most out of your session, keep these tips in mind:
Arrive a little early – Give yourself time to check in, fill out paperwork, and settle before your treatment.
Eat light – A heavy meal can make it harder to relax, but don’t come on an empty stomach. A small meal an hour or two before works best.
Stay hydrated – Drink water before and after your massage to flush out toxins and reduce soreness.
Wear comfortable clothing – Loose or athletic wear is ideal. Your therapist will guide you if anything needs to be adjusted for treatment.
Speak up – Let your therapist know about any discomfort or tightness so they can adjust pressure and techniques.
Rest after your session – Avoid strenuous activity right away. Give your body time to recover and absorb the benefits.
Follow aftercare advice – Your therapist may suggest stretches or exercises to help with recovery and keep you moving well.
