Frequently asked questions
How does a sports massage differ from a classic relaxation massage?
Sports massage (90 min) targets deep muscular layers, fascia, and tendon insertions using firm compression, forearm kneading, and trigger-point release. It restores elasticity to shortened muscle fibers, increases joint flexibility, and accelerates post-exercise tissue repair.
I train at Form Factory (OC Nový Smíchov) or run around Petřín Hill. Should I book before or after exercise?
Post-workout (recovery) is optimal 2 to 24 hours after hill running on Petřín or lifting at Smíchov gyms. It flushes metabolic waste and minimizes DOMS soreness. Pre-event (preparation) should be scheduled 24 to 48 hours prior to competition using stimulating strokes to prime muscles.
Will a sports deep tissue massage hurt, and will I have bruises?
Sports massage is physically firm, but discomfort must remain 'productive and therapeutic'. You feel deep pressure on restricted fascia while remaining able to breathe comfortably. Oksana respects vascular structures, so no capillary bruising occurs.
Should I choose 60 minutes or 90 minutes for sports recovery?
A 60-minute session focuses deeply on one major zone (full back and neck, OR legs and glutes). The 90-minute session provides an unhurried, full-body muscular overhaul, highly recommended for distance runners, CrossFitters, or full-body fatigue.
Can I benefit from a sports massage if I am not an active athlete?
Yes! More than 50% of sports massage clients at our Kartouzská 4 studio are desk professionals with severe chronic posture tension. If standard Swedish massage feels too light to reach deep knots under your shoulder blades, deep tissue work delivers targeted relief.
What will I feel like the day after a deep tissue session?
Mild muscle soreness—similar to the feeling after a solid workout—is completely normal for 12 to 36 hours. Once it clears, you will experience lasting joint mobility, lightness, and muscular ease. Staying hydrated helps speed up tissue remodeling.
What are the contraindications to sports massage?
Contraindications include acute muscle/ligament tears in the first 48–72 hours, acute joint inflammation, fever, unhealed fractures, and acute shooting radicular nerve pain.
