Built for active
bodies and ambitious goals.
Sports massage is a specialized, performance-focused therapy designed for athletes, weekend warriors, and active individuals. It combines deep, targeted muscle work with stretching, myofascial techniques, and recovery strategies to address tightness, improve range of motion, and prevent injuries.
Each session is customized to your body, activity level, and goals — whether you're training for an event, recovering from a workout, or maintaining peak performance year-round. Beyond the physical benefits, sports massage reduces stress, enhances circulation, and promotes faster recovery.
By the end of your session, you'll feel balanced, energized, and ready for your next challenge — all in the comfort and privacy of your own space.
Tailored to your goals.
Sports massage adapts to where you are in your training cycle and what your body needs most right now.
Performance Prep
Light to moderate work focused on loosening tight muscles, increasing circulation, and getting your body primed and ready before a race, competition, or big training day. Timed to leave you energized without fatigue.
Recovery & Restoration
Deeper, slower work to flush metabolic waste, reduce inflammation, ease soreness, and restore full range of motion after intense effort. The fastest way back to feeling good and ready to train again.
Ongoing Performance
Regular sessions between training blocks to prevent the buildup of scar tissue, address compensation patterns, and keep your body moving efficiently — so injuries stay off the table and performance stays on track.
Injury Recovery
Targeted work on overused or strained areas to break down adhesions, restore circulation, and support the healing of soft tissue. Helps you return to activity faster and with less risk of re-injury.
Mobility & Range of Motion
Myofascial release and targeted stretching to open up tight areas, improve joint mobility, and restore the full range of motion that training can gradually steal. Move better. Feel better. Perform better.
Relief from Postural Tension
Long hours at a desk create many of the same compensation patterns as training — tight hips, locked thoracic spine, forward head posture. Sports massage techniques address all of it with the same precision applied to competitive athletes.
Precision work
for every muscle.
Your sports massage session combines several specialized techniques — each chosen based on your body's needs and your performance goals on that day.
combined
Professional, precise care.
Every element of your sports massage session is chosen to support your performance and recovery — from pressure selection to aromatherapy and beyond.
Pressure & Focus Areas
Sports massage uses medium to firm pressure, precisely calibrated to your body and goals. The session begins with a check-in about your recent activity, areas of tightness, and any specific concerns. Work is focused and intentional — targeting the muscles that have been working hardest and the patterns that are limiting your movement.
Aromatherapy
Optional aromatherapy with essential oil blends selected to complement your session — energizing before performance, calming and restorative for recovery. A subtle enhancement that supports both the physical and mental side of athletic recovery.
No Commute, No Friction
After a hard training session, the last thing you want is to drive to a spa. Kandis comes to you — home, hotel, or wherever you are — so you can move from training to recovery without losing time or energy. Everything is set up and ready when you are, and you can rest immediately after the session.
Fully Personalized to You
No two athletes have the same body or the same goals. Your session is built around your specific needs — the sport you play, where you are in your training cycle, the areas that need the most attention, and how your body responds to different techniques. Dedicated, uninterrupted attention from start to finish.
Complimentary Enhancements
Four performance-supporting add-ons included with every sports massage — at no extra charge.
Aromatherapy
Custom essential oil blends chosen to support your session goal — energizing for pre-event work, calming and restorative for recovery. Enhances both the physical and mental dimension of your massage.
Hot Himalayan Salt Stones
Warm mineral-rich stones applied to key muscle groups to prime tissues for deeper work and support post-session recovery. 84 trace minerals, deep penetrating warmth, and real physiological benefit.
Cupping
Decompression therapy that lifts tissue rather than compresses it — increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and accelerating the clearance of metabolic waste from fatigued muscles. A favorite tool of elite athletes worldwide.
Hot Towels
Applied to targeted areas at key moments throughout the session to warm tissues, increase local circulation, and prepare muscles for deeper therapeutic work — especially effective before myofascial and deep tissue techniques.
