Question 1

What is sports massage good for?

Accepted Answer

Sports massage is beneficial for reducing muscle soreness after training, improving circulation, increasing flexibility and range of motion, breaking down scar tissue from overuse injuries, and preventing new injuries. It is suitable for runners, cyclists, gym athletes, football and rugby players, and anyone in regular physical training.

Question 2

What is the difference between sports massage and deep tissue massage?

Accepted Answer

Sports massage is adapted to the demands of specific sports or training activities, focusing on muscle groups most used in that activity. Deep tissue massage uses sustained high pressure to reach the deeper layers of muscle and fascia, targeting chronic tension and adhesions regardless of sport. Eduardo often combines both techniques in a single session based on the client's needs.

Question 3

Does deep tissue massage hurt?

Accepted Answer

Deep tissue massage uses firm pressure which can cause temporary discomfort during the session, especially on areas of chronic tension or trigger points. This is normal and typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours. Eduardo adjusts pressure throughout the session and checks in regularly to ensure the intensity is appropriate.

Question 4

How often should athletes get a sports massage?

Accepted Answer

For athletes in regular training, a sports massage every 2 to 4 weeks is recommended for maintenance and injury prevention. During heavy training blocks or race preparation, weekly sessions may be beneficial. For those recovering from an injury, more frequent sessions in the initial phase of rehabilitation are often advised.
