Questions about sports massage
How long is a session?
A session runs 30 to 90 minutes. Race-week sessions are the shortest, and a long session in a heavy block of training is the longest.
What do I wear?
Wear whatever you like to arrive in. Undress only as far as you are comfortable; we work around whatever you keep on. You are covered by a sheet or towel the whole time, and only the part we are working on is uncovered.
Am I covered the whole time?
Yes. Only the part we are working on is uncovered, and it is covered again when we move on.
Can I stop?
Yes, at any time and for any reason. You can pause, change position or end the session, and we stop right away.
How do I set the pressure?
Before we start we ask about pressure and any area to avoid, and we check again in the middle and before the end. Tell us at any time to go lighter or firmer.
When should I book before a race?
Early in race week, and keep it short and light. We would rather not do deep work in the last two days before a race. Your therapist will plan the week with you.
What about the days after a race?
We usually suggest waiting a few days after the finish, then booking a slow session. Right after the finish line, your legs have done enough for one day.
What if I am hurt, unwell or pregnant?
Ask your doctor or midwife before you book, and tell your therapist when you arrive. We work with a doctor's go-ahead and we do not diagnose.
Do you work with clubs and teams?
Yes. A club or a training camp group can book back-to-back sessions together at the studio. We quote first, and a card holds the time.
How often should I come?
As often as your week allows. Some athletes book every few weeks through base and build, and again around a race. Your therapist can suggest a rhythm after your first visit.
Should I tip?
Tipping is optional. You can add it when you pay or hand it to your therapist.
What is your cancellation policy?
Please give us 24 hours to move or cancel a session. If you are ill or hurt, tell us and we will move it without question.
How does pricing work?
The price is set by the length of the session and your therapist. The booking page shows it before you confirm.
