Post Event Sports Massage – What to Expect

Timing Matters

Ideally immediately after your event or within 24 hours. The best results come after your cool-down, with sessions lasting 10–30 minutes (around 20 minutes is ideal).

Key Focus

Post-event massage is all about recovery—not performance. We aim to:

• Reduce cramping and muscle soreness
• Ease post-event pain
• Support nervous system down-regulation
• Encourage circulation and recovery

Technique & Approach

After intense activity, tissues are sensitive. Treatment uses:

• Gentle, relaxing strokes
• No deep or aggressive work
• Light compression, stretching and mobilisation
• Lubricant for smooth, soothing flow

Target Areas (Especially for Dancers & Runners)

Focus is on major muscle groups, particularly:

• Legs, hips and pelvis
• Hamstrings, quads, calves and glutes
• Upper body tension (neck, shoulders, chest)

Treatment Positions

• Supine: Gentle stretches, hip mobility, quad and adductor work
• Side lying: Glute, psoas and quad release
• Prone: Hamstrings, calves, glutes and full-body relaxation techniques

Recovery Beyond Massage

• Active recovery: Light movement to boost circulation
• Passive recovery: Rest to allow full physiological reset

Final Thought

Post-event massage helps you recover smarter, not just quicker—so you’re ready for your next session feeling looser, lighter and pain-free.
