When it's best to come in
- 24–48 h after a hard workout — while your muscles still feel tired
- During your deload week — a longer moment of rest
- When your muscles stay stiff for days after training
- With tight neck and shoulders from deadlifts
- Before a competition — 3–4 days before the event
What happens after training
For a day or two after a hard workout, muscles often feel tired and stiff, and movement feels less free. That's a normal part of training.
A massage at this point brings relaxation and a lighter feeling. Your therapist works calmly on the tired areas and matches the pressure to how you feel.
One important detail: don't book a deep massage on the same day as a hard workout — your body needs immediate recovery first. The best window is 24–48 hours after the session.

How often with regular training
Training 3–4 times a week? A 60–90 minute massage once a week, ideally during deload or on a weekend. Training more often — treat at least two massages a month as a fixed part of your plan. Read more about working with the body in our article on strong Thai massage.
Frequently asked questions
-
Better not to — after a hard workout the body first needs immediate recovery, and deep work on fatigued muscles can be counterproductive. The optimal window is 24–48 hours after the session.
-
Book 3–4 days before the event — no later. Choose lighter work (classic Thai or Balinese) rather than deep tissue work, so your muscles have time to return to full readiness.
-
Thai sports massage combines Thai techniques with intense, dynamic work designed with active people in mind. Balinese deep tissue works slower and more locally on areas that feel especially tight and stiff. If you're unsure, we'll advise during your consultation.
