What to Expect
Every sports massage session with Kris is 60 minutes of hands-on, focused work — no filler, no fluff. Kris arrives at your home with a heated folding table, fresh linens, and everything needed for your session. Before starting, she will take a few minutes to ask about your activity level, any specific areas of concern, and what you are hoping to get out of the session.
Sports massage typically incorporates deeper pressure, targeted muscle work, and assisted stretching. It is more active than a relaxation massage and focuses on specific muscle groups and movement patterns relevant to your sport or activity. Kris adapts the session to your needs and comfort level throughout.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need to be a competitive athlete to benefit from sports massage?
Not at all. Sports massage is beneficial for anyone with an active lifestyle — runners, cyclists, gym-goers, hikers, or anyone who deals with repetitive physical stress. If your body works hard, sports massage can help it recover. - Should I get a sports massage before or after a workout?
Both have benefits. A lighter pre-event massage can help warm up muscles and improve circulation before activity. A post-workout or post-event session focuses on recovery, reducing soreness, and restoring range of motion. Most clients schedule their sessions as part of a regular recovery routine. - Will sports massage hurt?
Sports massage uses deeper pressure than a relaxation massage, but it should never be painful. Kris works within your comfort level and checks in throughout the session. Some tenderness in tight areas is normal, but sharp or intense pain is always a signal to back off. - How often should I get a sports massage?
It depends on your training schedule and goals. Athletes in heavy training often benefit from weekly or bi-weekly sessions. For general maintenance and recovery, once or twice a month is a solid starting point. - What areas does Kris serve?
