Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1:How soon after a run should I get a massage?
If it was a light run, you can come in immediately. After a marathon or intense long run, we recommend waiting 24-48 hours to allow acute inflammation to subside before deep work.
Question 2:Do you offer stretching during the session?
Yes! We incorporate active stretching to open up the hips and lengthen the hamstrings, which is crucial for maintaining your running form.
Question 3:Can this help with IT band or hip tightness?
Absolutely. We use myofascial release techniques to gently loosen the IT band and glutes, reducing the friction that causes knee and hip pain.
Question 4:What’s the best session length for runners?
We highly recommend 60 or 90 minutes. This allows us enough time to thoroughly work both legs (quads, hamstrings, calves) and the lower back.
