When sports massage should be done is a frequently asked question. Correct timing plays an important role in the practice achieving its purpose.
Pre-training sports massage
Sports massage applied before training aims to prepare the muscles for movement and support circulation. It's generally planned with a shorter and more invigorating approach.
Post-training sports massage
The post-training application, on the other hand, is aimed at contributing to the recovery process and helping reduce muscle tension. This application is generally done with a more calming approach.
Timing during competition periods
Sports massage before and after competitions is planned differently for performance preparation and recovery:
- Before competition: a light and preparatory approach
- After competition: an approach focused on recovery
Timing and intensity are carefully determined based on your competition calendar.
How is the correct timing determined?
The most suitable timing varies according to your sport, training intensity, and goals. For this reason, the timing decision is made together during the preliminary consultation, taking your training program into account.
