Sports Massage – FAQs

1. What is included in a Sports Massage at DaniHands?

Our Sports Massage is customized to your body, activity level, and areas of concern. Depending on your needs, the session may include firm to deep pressure, targeted muscle work, compression, assisted stretching, range-of-motion techniques, and focused work on tight or overused muscles. Your therapist will adjust the techniques and pressure based on your comfort and goals.

2. What should I expect during my Sports Massage?

Your therapist will begin with a brief consultation to understand your activity level, areas of soreness or tension, preferred pressure, and what you would like to accomplish during the session. The massage may focus more attention on specific areas such as the legs, hips, glutes, back, shoulders, arms, or neck. Because Sports Massage can incorporate stretching and movement, the experience may feel more active and targeted than a traditional relaxation massage.

3. How much is a Sports Massage at DaniHands?

Our Sports Massage pricing is:

60 minutes — $120

90 minutes — $150

A 60-minute session is a great option for general sports massage or more focused work on specific areas. A 90-minute session provides additional time for more comprehensive full-body work, stretching, and attention to multiple areas of muscular tension.

4. Do I need to be an athlete to get a Sports Massage?

No. Sports Massage is not only for professional athletes. It can be beneficial for runners, gym-goers, cyclists, dancers, recreational athletes, physically active individuals, or anyone experiencing muscle tightness and soreness from demanding or repetitive activity. Your session is customized according to your individual needs.

5. What are the benefits of Sports Massage?

Sports Massage is designed to help reduce muscular tension and soreness, support recovery, improve flexibility and mobility, and maintain healthy muscle function. The techniques can be adapted depending on whether you are training regularly, recovering after physical activity, or simply dealing with tight and overworked muscles.

6. Is Sports Massage the same as Deep Tissue Massage?

Not exactly. Although both may use firm or deep pressure, Sports Massage focuses more specifically on movement, mobility, muscle function, recovery, and areas affected by physical activity. It may incorporate assisted stretching, compression, range-of-motion work, and targeted techniques in addition to deeper massage work.

7. Should I choose a 60- or 90-minute Sports Massage?

If you have one or two primary areas that need attention, 60 minutes may be sufficient. If you have several areas of tightness, want more extensive stretching and targeted work, or prefer a more comprehensive session, we generally recommend 90 minutes so your therapist has enough time to address your needs without rushing.
