Activate circulation and prepare muscles for peak performance – short and dynamic
Muscular imbalances

Massage 90 min.
For a complete sports massage, I recommend 90 minutes – especially for full-body recovery.

For chronic overload complaints or stress, acupressure can complement sports massage. The TCM approach regulates the nervous system and is covered by supplementary insurance.
FAQ – Sports Massage
Bei regelmässigem Training empfehle ich alle 1–2 Wochen eine Sportmassage. In der Wettkampfvorbereitung kann ein engerer Rhythmus sinnvoll sein.
Leichte Bewegung ist möglich. Intensives Training besser auf den nächsten Tag verschieben – die Muskulatur braucht Zeit, um die Behandlung zu verarbeiten.
Absolut. Auch bei 2–3 Trainingseinheiten pro Woche entstehen muskuläre Belastungen, die von regelmässiger Massage profitieren.
