After the event
For the day after a race, a long climb or a heavy meet, or the day after that. Firmer pressure where you ask for it, with time for the legs, back and feet.
Most people book it for the day after, once the adrenaline has gone. Tell us what the event was and how you feel today. We work the areas it asked the most of, at the pressure you pick, and slow down wherever you say.
60 or 90 minutes
The day after or two days later
Legs, back and feet, or wherever you ask
Four steps
What the event was, how you feel today, and any area to leave alone.
Light, medium or firm. Slower and firmer is common after an event; you decide.
Longer, slower strokes. Covered by a sheet or towel, one area at a time, with time for the legs and the feet.
Sit up slowly. Drink some water and go easy on the rest of the day if you can.
Every session
A sheet or towel the whole time. Only the part we are working on is uncovered, and it is covered again when we move on.
We ask before we start and check as we go. Lighter or firmer, just say. You can stop at any time and we stop right away.
Shorts or loose athletic clothes you can move in. For leg work, shorts that slide up. Undress only as far as you like.
If you are pregnant, have had surgery or are being seen about an injury, ask your doctor or other provider before you book.
Hugh takes most of the long post-event sessions.
Licensed massage therapist
Hugh works the shoulders, neck and forearms that climbers and lifters lean on, and he takes most of the long post-event sessions. He is slow, thorough and happy to talk it through, or to work in quiet if you would rather.
The day after is the most common choice. Some people wait two or three days, and that works too.
Tell us where. We will go lighter there or work around it. You set the pressure, and you can stop at any time.
If you finish early and want a short session, ask. We keep it lighter and shorter the same day, and book the longer one for the next.
The day after is the most common choice.
