Sport Massage for Compeition in San Diego
Boost performance, recover faster, and feel competition-ready with a massage strategy tailored to your training cycle.
Why Strategic Sport Massage Matters
Sports massage isn’t a last-minute fix—it’s part of your competition prep. Just like training and tapering, recovery works best when it’s planned. By timing your sessions around your event, you can:
-
Relieve chronic tension before it interferes with performance
-
Calm your nervous system so you show up sharp and focused
-
Improve circulation and mobility without adding soreness
-
Reset post-competition so you recover faster
-
👉 This isn’t spa massage—it’s intentional bodywork designed for athletes who want results.
When to Schedule Sport Massage Around Your Event
6–8 Weeks Out
Deep work + myofascial release to address injuries, mobility restrictions, and chronic tightness.
2 Weeks Out
Shift to circulation and relaxation. Keep your muscles loose, without extra soreness.
Week of Competition
Light mobility and relaxation to calm the nervous system. Sessions early in the week—or the day before—help you feel open and ready.
Post-Competition (3–4 Days After)
Flushing soreness, restoring mobility, and resetting your system so you can bounce back faster.
Why Work with Sandy at EvoFitWell
I’ve been doing this work for over a decade—and as a CrossFitter and former athlete myself, I completely get what it’s like to compete, train hard, and deal with injuries.

-
Deep Tissue & Myofascial Release for lasting mobility gains
-
Sports Massage Strategy tailored to your training cycle
-
Recovery guidance between sessions so progress continues outside the treatment room
This isn’t about temporary relief. It’s bodywork designed to help you compete stronger, recover faster, and feel more connected to your body.
Sport Massage For Competition
FAQ:
When should I book my first session before competition?
Ideally 6–8 weeks out, so we can address mobility and chronic tightness before taper week.
Is it safe to get massage right before competition?
Yes—when focused on circulation and relaxation, not deep tissue. That way you feel loose, calm, and ready without added soreness.
How often should I get sports massage during training season?
Every 2–3 weeks works well for most athletes. The frequency may adjust based on your training intensity, recovery needs, and upcoming events.
What’s the difference between sports massage and deep tissue massage?
Sports massage is strategy-driven and scheduled around competition, while deep tissue is more about long-term recovery and addressing chronic tension. I often blend both, but the timing and pressure depend on your training cycle.
Will sports massage make me too sore to train?
Not when it’s planned right. Deep work happens early in your cycle, while lighter, circulation-based sessions are timed closer to competition.
Conclusion:
Sports massage for competition isn’t just about feeling good the day before—it’s about strategy. When timed with your training cycle, it helps you build mobility, reduce stress, recover faster, and walk into competition primed to perform.
Think of it as part of your training plan, not an afterthought. With the right approach, sports massage keeps you fresh, focused, and ready to compete at your best.
