Targeted bodywork for MSU athletes, club sport competitors, runners hitting the Lansing River Trail, lifters, and anyone whose body has to perform on a schedule. We come to your home, apartment, or training space.
This isn't relaxation work. Sports massage is goal-driven. We're trying to keep your tissue healthy, your range of motion full, and your training cycle on track. That looks different depending on what you do and where you are in your season.
We work with a steady stream of MSU students, club soccer and rugby players, recreational marathoners training out of Hawk Island and the River Trail, CrossFit and powerlifting clients from gyms across the metro, and state employees who race triathlons on the side. Everyone comes in with different demands. The session changes to match.
Pre-event work is faster, lighter, and stimulating. Done 24 to 48 hours before competition, it warms tissue, improves circulation, and primes the body for output without leaving you sore.
Post-event work is the opposite. Slower, focused on flushing metabolic waste, reducing soreness, and bringing the nervous system down. Done within 24 to 72 hours of a race or game.
Maintenance massage is the bread and butter. Most athletes benefit from 60 to 90 minutes every two to four weeks during heavy training cycles, longer and less frequent in off-season.
Tell us what sport, what level, and where you are in your season. Bring training notes if you keep them. Sessions blend deep tissue, trigger point, sometimes cupping, and active stretching. We're not just rolling through a checklist. Each pass is responding to what your tissue is doing under the hands.
You'll feel worked the next day, especially in problem areas. That's expected. Hydrate, sleep, and avoid heavy training the same day. Light easy aerobic work or mobility the day after is great.
If you're a Spartan athlete coordinating with athletic training staff, we can document treatment notes you can share with your trainer. Several of our regulars are club sport athletes and varsity walk-ons who use us to fill gaps in their team's training room availability.
Acute injuries (fresh sprains, strains, contusions) need to settle before deeper work. Stress fractures, recent surgery, and unmanaged inflammation are also reasons to delay. We'll always err toward the conservative call and refer out when we should.
60-minute sports massage is $110, 90-minute is $155. Travel within our service area is included. Most committed athletes do better with a 4-pack of 90-minute sessions, which knocks the per-session price down. Full pricing details are on the pricing page.
Set up a session, tell us your training schedule, and we'll build the work around it.
