What To Expect From Sports Massage

Check availability – visit groundworksportsmassage.com and click ‘Book Now’, or use the link in the bio if you’re coming from social media.
Choose a time that suits you – pick the day and time that fits your schedule best.
Confirm your booking – once you’ve booked, I’ll send a confirmation message along with an intake form for you to fill out before your appointment.
Complete your intake form – this helps me understand your goals, any injuries or problem areas, and ensures your treatment is tailored to you.

Arrive a few minutes early – this gives you time to settle in and complete a short consultation form (if not already complete).
Chat about your goals – we’ll discuss any aches, pains, injuries, or performance aims you have.
Wear something comfortable – You’ll be asked to remove outer clothing. Wearing gym clothing or underwear are common choices. Depending on the area being treated, you may be asked to adjust clothing, but you’ll always be draped appropriately for comfort and privacy.
Hydrate well – drinking water beforehand helps your muscles respond better.

Tailored treatment – your massage is specific to your needs, whether that’s easing tight muscles, improving mobility, or supporting recovery.
Open communication – pressure can be adjusted at any time; you are encouraged to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.
Professional techniques – expect a mix of deep tissue, stretching, and sports massage methods designed to target problem areas.
Relax & breathe – while it can feel intense at times, most clients describe it as a “good ache” that brings relief.

Immediate relief – many people feel lighter, looser, and more mobile straight away.
Post-massage advice – you’ll be given stretches, exercises, or lifestyle tips to help you get the most out of your session.
Stay hydrated – drinking water helps flush out toxins and aids recovery.
Normal sensations – you may feel slightly sore for a day or two, especially after deeper work. This is part of the healing process.
Long-term benefits – regular treatments can reduce injury risk, improve performance, and support overall wellbeing.
