Question 1

Q: What should I wear to my sports massage appointment?

Accepted Answer

A: For your sports massage appointment at Georgia Mya Sports Massage, it is best to wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the areas that will be worked on. Typically, athletic wear such as shorts and a tank top or sports bra for females (although bras that can be unclipped are perfect too) and shorts and a t-shirt for males, are ideal. This way, your therapist can efficiently address muscle tension and improve your mobility without any clothing obstructions. Additionally, it's recommended to avoid wearing any jewellery or accessories and to ensure your clothing is clean and dry. This will help us in providing you with the most effective and professional service, ensuring you leave feeling relaxed and pain-free.

Question 2

Q: What should I expect during my first sports massage appointment?

Accepted Answer

A: During your first sports massage appointment at Georgia Mya Sports Massage, you can expect a professional and personalised experience aimed at helping to release tension, improve movement, and aid in living pain-free. Initially, you'll undergo a brief consultation where your therapist will discuss your medical history, current physical condition, and specific areas of concern. This helps tailor the massage to your unique needs. The session typically lasts between 75 minutes and may involve a combination of deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, cupping therapy and stretching techniques to address muscle tightness and promote recovery. Your therapist will check in with you regularly to ensure the pressure is comfortable and effective. After the session, they may offer advice on stretches or exercises to maintain the benefits of the massage. Whether you're an athlete recovering from an injury or someone looking to alleviate chronic pain, my goal is to help you feel better and move more freely.
