The Ultimate Guide to Preparing for a Sports Massage

If you’re new to sports massage, it’s natural to have questions. How should you prepare? What can you expect? At Rico Sports Massage Therapy, we want to ensure you get the most out of your session. Here’s a simple guide to help.

Before Your Appointment

• Stay Hydrated: Drinking water before your massage helps keep your muscles hydrated and easier to work on.

• Avoid Heavy Meals: Eat light before your session to avoid discomfort.

• Wear Comfortable Clothing: Loose, easy-to-remove clothes make it easier to prepare for your massage.

During the Session

• Relax: Let your therapist know if you feel any discomfort.

• Communicate: Share any specific areas of tension or pain so we can focus on them.

After the Massage

• Drink Water: This helps flush out toxins released during the massage.

• Stretch Lightly: Gentle stretches can maintain the benefits of the session.

• Rest: Give your body time to recover.

Preparing for a sports massage doesn’t have to be complicated. Follow these tips, and you’ll maximise the benefits of your session. Book your next appointment with Rico Sports Massage Therapy today!

Rico paid me a home visit and made me feel relaxed. He was able to identify the areas which needed treatment and performed a sports massage, cupping and helped me stretch the affected areas. Afterwards my back, neck and shoulder felt much better. Thank you for the visit rico
