Chris Maggi Massage

One massage can make you feel better.

But if the same tension keeps coming back, one session alone won't change the bigger picture.

Regular treatment, movement and good recovery habits all work together.

Your body needs consistency, not a quick fix.

Can you train after a sports massage?

It depends.

The answer can vary depending on the intensity of the massage, the type of training you planned and how your body feels afterwards.

After a deeper treatment, your muscles may need time to recover, while gentle movement may feel perfectly comfortable.

The best approach is to listen to your body and discuss your training plans during your session so you can receive advice based on your individual needs.

Recovery isn't always about doing nothing, sometimes it's about knowing when to push and when to give your body time.

Not all massages have the same purpose.

A relaxation massage is generally focused on helping you unwind and relax.

A sports massage is more focused on the individual and their physical activity, movement and recovery needs. The approach and techniques can vary depending on factors such as your training, lifestyle and the areas you want to address.

That doesn't mean one is better than the other, they simply have different purposes.

If you're unsure which type of massage may be most suitable for you, feel free to get in touch before booking.

A good massage doesn't start with pressure.

It starts with a conversation.

Before treatment, it's important to understand what you're feeling, where you're experiencing tension or discomfort, your activity level and what you want to achieve from the session.

Every body is different, so every treatment should be approached individually.

There is no "one massage fits all."

Your body. Your needs. Your treatment.

There isn't necessarily a "right" answer, everyone experiences physical tension differently.

And sometimes, noticing the pattern is the first step towards taking better care of your body.

Not necessarily.

There isn't one schedule that works for everyone.

How often someone may benefit from sports massage depends on things like:

• Training frequency
• Physical workload
• Recovery habits
• Muscle tension
• Individual goals

For some people, regular sessions can be useful. For others, massage may be something they use around particularly demanding periods of training or activity.

The important thing is having a recovery routine that makes sense for you.

Waking up feeling stiff doesn't always mean you had a bad night's sleep.

Your body can feel tight after long periods of inactivity, a demanding training session, or simply from spending too much time in the same position during the day.

Gentle movement, regular activity and a good recovery routine can all help you feel more comfortable.

If morning stiffness keeps coming back or affects how you move, it's worth paying attention to it rather than simply pushing through.

Padel involves much more than swinging the racket.

Your shoulders, forearms, back, hips and legs are all involved in the constant changes of direction, reaching and rotation during a match.

If you play regularly, paying attention to your whole body, not just your hitting arm, can be an important part of your recovery routine.

Sports massage can be one part of that routine, alongside proper warm-ups, mobility, rest and good training habits.

Padel players, what's usually the first area that feels tired after a match?

🎾 Arm?
🦵 Legs?
💪 Shoulder?
🔙 Back?

Your body wasn't designed to stay in one position all day.

If you spend most of your working day sitting, small movement breaks can make a big difference.

Try this during your workday:

✔ Stand up regularly
✔ Walk for a few minutes
✔ Change your sitting position
✔ Move your shoulders and neck
✔ Don't wait until you're uncomfortable to move

And remember: massage can be part of your overall body-care routine, but it works best alongside healthy daily habits.

Desk workers: how many hours do you spend sitting each day?

Your calves work hard every time you run.

Running, especially when increasing distance, speed or frequency, puts repeated load through the lower legs.

If your calves regularly feel heavy, stiff or unusually fatigued after running, don't simply push through it.

A good recovery routine can include:
🏃 Appropriate training progression
💧 Hydration
😴 Quality sleep
🧘 Mobility work
💆 Sports massage

The goal isn't to stop training. It's to help your body handle the training better.

Runners, how are your calves feeling after your last run?
