Pre-event massage can be performed weeks to months prior to the event and focuses on increasing range of motion, monitoring muscle tone, decreasing muscle stiffness and soreness post-workout, preventing injuries and enhancing athletic performance. Modalities utilized are based on the athletes sport of choice and workout regimen.

 

POst-event sessions

The impact of a treatment within 72 hours post-event is a boost on an athletes physiological and psychological state, supporting the body's immune system in the process.
