Athlete Massage Therapy FAQs
What happens during an athlete massage appointment?
During your first appointment, your registered massage therapist will review your health history, ask about your activity level, symptoms and goals, and discuss your pressure preferences. Your athlete massage session will be adjusted based on the areas you want to focus on and the type of support you need.
Can athlete massage help with back pain or sciatica?
Yes, athlete massage may help with back pain, sciatica pain, muscle tension and stiffness when soft tissue tightness is contributing to discomfort. Your massage therapist can focus on areas such as the low back, hips, glutes, legs, neck or shoulders depending on your symptoms.
Is athlete massage covered by health insurance?
If your athlete massage is provided by a registered massage therapist, it may be covered under massage therapy benefits, depending on your plan. Check your benefits for massage therapy covered by insurance, massage benefits coverage, annual limits and direct billing massage options.
Is athlete massage the same as sports massage?
Athlete massage and sports massage are closely related, and both focus on muscles used during activity, training, and recovery. The main goal is to help reduce tightness, support mobility, and address areas of strain from repetitive movement, exercise, or sports.
Can athlete massage help after a sports injury?
Athlete massage may help support recovery after a sports injury when muscle tension, stiffness, or soft tissue discomfort is affecting movement. It can also be used alongside physiotherapy, chiropractic care, or acupuncture treatments when coordinated care is helpful.
