Is This You?
✓ Sluggish legs leading up to race day
✓ Stiff joints restricting your range of motion
✓ Nervous system not 'firing' properly
✓ Tightness from tapering your training
The Anatomy & Science
Pre-event massage is completely different from relaxation. We use brisk, stimulatory strokes (tapotement) to rapidly increase local blood flow, activate your sympathetic nervous system, and warm up the fascial tissues without reducing muscle tension *too* much—which would decrease your power output.
Why Our Approach Works
By combining the deep tissue expertise of an RMT with the orthopedic assessment skills of an Athletic Therapist, we don't just treat the symptom—we correct the underlying mechanics so you can perform your best.

Common Questions
How close to my event should I get a pre-event massage?
Ideally, 24 to 48 hours before your event to optimize circulation without causing muscle fatigue.
Will this make me too relaxed to compete?
No, pre-event massage uses specific, fast-paced techniques designed to stimulate the nervous system, not sedate it.
