With the rush of everyday life and the accumulated kilometers, the body starts to complain.
That’s when sports massage comes in, a powerful ally to recover better, relieve tension, and even prevent injuries.
During the session, the most commonly used technique is myofascial release.
The fascia works like a film that surrounds our muscles and, when it becomes stiff or “stuck,” it limits movement and causes pain. Working on this structure helps to loosen and stretch muscle tissues, improve flexibility, stimulate circulation, and reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), the one that appears a day or two after training.
📊 Scientific evidence:
Studies show that myofascial release improves flexibility and reduces delayed onset muscle soreness by up to 20% (DOMS).

Sports massage is no miracle, it won’t give you a new pace, but it will leave you ready to train again tomorrow, and that’s what really makes a difference in a consistent training cycle.
After the massage, it’s time to rest and respect your body.
It’s worth betting on a light run the next day so that, by the weekend, you’ll be ready again.
In the end, taking care of your body is what keeps you training well and for a long time.
