Pre & post sporting event massage is most beneficial within a maximum of 48 hours and focuses more on specific areas.
Do not have a big meal prior to your massage as heavy pressure can be uncomfortable on a full belly trying to digest food. Relax and speak up if the pressure is too much. You may want to ice an area that received deep tissue to calm down any aggravation or soreness.
