Sports Massage
Engineered for the active body. A dynamic, performance-oriented treatment focused on athletic recovery and injury prevention.
The Technique
Unlike a relaxation massage, sports massage is a targeted approach utilizing a combination of deep tissue work, active and passive stretching, compression, and cross-fiber friction. The therapist focuses on specific muscle groups related to your athletic activities, breaking down scar tissue and improving muscular resilience.
The Benefits
This modality significantly decreases delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), reduces recovery time between intense workouts, and enhances overall flexibility and range of motion. By flushing metabolic waste from the muscles and increasing blood flow, it prepares the body for peak performance while drastically reducing the risk of strain or injury.
Who It's Ideal For
Essential for regular gym-goers, runners, cyclists, and any man pushing his physical limits. Whether you need a pre-event tune-up or post-workout recovery, this therapy is customized entirely around your physical regimen.

Frequently Asked
Sports massage, answered
See the current sports massage rates for each duration in the price grid on this page. A 90-minute session allows time for full-body assisted stretching plus targeted trigger-point work on whatever you trained that week.
For pre-event: 2–5 days before, focused on mobility and circulation, no deep tissue work. For post-event: 24–72 hours after, focused on lymphatic flow, lactic-acid clearance, and gentle release. Avoid heavy deep work in the 24 hours immediately before competition.
Yes. Sports massage is not just for elite athletes. Heavy lifters, marathoners, cyclists, climbers, and CrossFitters all benefit from the combination of deep tissue, assisted stretching, and trigger-point work that targets sport-specific tightness.
In a heavy training block, every 1–2 weeks. In maintenance, every 3–4 weeks. Most NYC runners we see book monthly through marathon training and weekly in the final 4-week taper.
No — it complements them. Daily mobility work keeps tissue supple between sessions; sports massage resets the deep restrictions that home tools cannot reach. Think of it like a tune-up versus daily oil top-ups.
