About Specialty / Strong Pressure Services

Pre-event sports massage (typically shorter, 30–45 minutes) is stimulating and preparatory: warming the muscles, increasing circulation, and enhancing neuromuscular readiness without inducing the deep relaxation that would be counterproductive before competition. Post-event massage (60–90 minutes) shifts focus to flushing metabolic waste, reducing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and beginning the recovery process.

Augusta’s running, cycling, golf, and military fitness communities have made sports massage one of our most requested services. Whether you are training for the Augusta Marathon, competing in Masters golf, or maintaining peak readiness for duty, regular sports massage keeps your body performing at its best.
