REQUEST SESSION DETAILS→01 / A CLEAR DEFINITION
WHAT SPORTS
MASSAGE IS.
Sports massage is a massage service shaped around training context, preferred pressure, and selected soft-tissue areas. It may be used before or after exercise, with the character and intensity of the session adjusted to its timing and purpose. It is not manual therapy or joint manipulation.
It is not a diagnosis, injury treatment, or return-to-sport clearance. Where symptoms require clinical assessment, the appropriate route is a licensed healthcare professional.
02 / SESSION CONTEXT
BUILT AROUND
YOUR LOAD.
CALMER. PERSONALISED.

CLEAR COMMUNICATION.
Match schedules, travel, recovery preferences, and sensitive areas are discussed before the session.

Perceived soreness and flexibility
A large systematic review found small improvements in flexibility and delayed-onset muscle soreness in some settings.
Direct performance improvement
The same review found no evidence of direct improvement in strength, sprint, endurance, jump performance, or fatigue.

05 / FREQUENTLY ASKED
BEFORE
YOU REQUEST.
01WHEN CAN SPORTS MASSAGE BE USED?+
A sports massage may be planned as a shorter, more stimulating session before training or as a calmer, individually adjusted session afterwards. Timing, pressure, and focus areas are selected around the athlete's goal, current load, and pre-session feedback.
02DOES SPORTS MASSAGE IMPROVE PERFORMANCE?+
Current systematic reviews do not show that sports massage directly improves strength, sprint, or endurance performance. Small improvements in flexibility and perceived post-exercise soreness may occur for some people, so the service is not presented with a performance guarantee.
03CAN I HAVE SPORTS MASSAGE WITH AN INJURY?+
New trauma, severe or worsening pain, marked swelling, or loss of strength or sensation needs assessment by an appropriate healthcare professional first. Massage does not replace diagnosis, treatment, or rehabilitation and should not delay medical assessment.
04WHAT IS DISCUSSED BEFORE A SESSION?+
Your training or match schedule, goal, pressure preference, sensitive areas, and anything that may affect safety are discussed briefly. Sharp pain is not the aim, and you can give feedback about pressure and comfort throughout the session.
05HOW DO I REQUEST DETAILS IN ISTANBUL OR KOCAELI?+
