Frequently Asked Questions

Wear whatever is comfortable. Most clients undress to their comfort level and are draped with a sheet throughout the session. For movement coaching sessions, wear athletic clothing you can move freely in.

If you’re dealing with chronic pain, tension, stiffness, or recovering from an injury, start with a sports massage or deep tissue session. If you have recurring movement issues — pain in your feet, knees, hips, or back that keeps coming back despite treatment — movement coaching may address the root cause.

Not sure? Call or text Justin and he’ll recommend the best starting point based on your situation.

That’s completely fine. Justin works with first-time clients regularly. He’ll walk you through the entire process before starting, check in on pressure throughout the session, and answer any questions. There’s no expectation that you know anything going in.

Sports massage is a comprehensive approach using multiple modalities — deep tissue, myofascial release, cupping, blading, hot stones, and lymphatic drainage — tailored for athletic performance and recovery. Deep tissue massage specifically targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to release chronic tension and adhesions.

Movement coaching assesses your gait, posture, and movement patterns to identify and correct inefficiencies that cause recurring pain or limit performance. Many clients benefit from a combination of these services.

Drink plenty of water, avoid intense exercise for 24 hours, and take it easy for the rest of the day if possible.

Most clients feel significantly better — looser, more mobile, and with reduced pain. After deep tissue or intense sessions, mild soreness is normal for 24–48 hours as your body processes the work. This is a sign the treatment is working. Hydration helps speed recovery.
