Sports Massage in Placerville
What is the difference between sports massage and therapeutic massage?
Sports massage is specifically designed for active individuals and uses techniques like facilitated stretching, compression, and friction alongside deep tissue work. It focuses on athletic performance, injury prevention, and recovery. Therapeutic massage is broader, addressing chronic pain, stress, and general muscle tension for all clients.
Should I get a sports massage before or after exercise?
Both are beneficial but serve different purposes. Pre-event sports massage uses lighter, stimulating techniques to warm muscles and improve circulation. Post-event massage uses deeper, recovery-focused work to flush lactic acid, reduce DOMS, and restore range of motion. Tell your therapist when your next event is.
Can sports massage help prevent injury?
Yes. Regular sports massage identifies and releases areas of restricted fascia and tight muscle before they become injuries. Many athletes use monthly sessions as preventive maintenance.
How long after an intense workout should I wait to get a sports massage?
For intense sessions, we recommend waiting 24-48 hours to allow initial inflammation to subside. For moderate training, a same-day or next-day session is generally fine.
Do you work with non-athletes?
Absolutely. Sports massage is beneficial for anyone with physically active or physically demanding lifestyles, including hikers, cyclists, manual laborers, and anyone experiencing repetitive strain.
