Massage at CFC

Soothing and therapeutic relief to help you recover and maintain.

Massages feel amazing. They also help you recover and be ready for your next CrossFit workout. Regular massage (once a month or more) can decrease inflammation and swelling, increase mobility, and help you maintain your range of motion, so you can perform your best.

Since 2006, we’ve been helping CFC members be their best through years of tight IT bands, sore shoulders, and aching glutes. Whether relaxation or targeted deep-tissue work, we’ll get you feeling better on the ASAP.

Healing hands.

Our massage experts specialize in helping CrossFit athletes reach their goals.

Meet Our Therapists

Katrina MacKay RMT

Relax. Recover.

Katrina, our massage professional, assesses and treats you based on your individual issue or request. If you’ve got an ailment, she’ll help guide the healing process to get you fixed up and back into action.

Services

Therapeutic Massage: Skillful manipulation of muscle, tendon and other soft tissues using varying pressure and motion to achieve positive emotional and physical results.

Swedish Massage: Various techniques designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. This increases oxygen flow in the blood while reducing toxins in the muscles. Swedish is probably the most well known and most widely requested massage.

Myofascial Release: A generally gentle approach for stretching and releasing restrictions in the connective tissue throughout the body with the goal of eliminating pain, increasing range of motion and balancing the body. No oils are used and you remain partially clothed during the session.

You may undress to your level of comfort and will be professionally draped during the session.

What are the benefits of massage for CrossFitters?

  1. Stretches and lengthens your muscles and fascia gently putting it in its place. This will increase your range of motion.
  2. Increases circulation getting more oxygen into your body, decreasing recovery time.
  3. Decreases stress on your muscles, but also helps relax your mind.
  4. Helps reduce pain and inflammation in the joints, tendons, nerves and bones.

Who can benefit from massage?

Everyone. Whether it’s soreness from a WOD or stiffness from sitting all day at your computer, massage can help. (You don’t have to be a CrossFitter to have a massage at CFC.)

When should I get a massage?

Wait at least 45 minutes after completing a WOD. Massages can be especially effective during recovery periods like rest days or deload weeks.

Try a massage three days before a competition or race to improve your range of motion and mobility, or immediately after a competition to help you recover quickly.

I’m all sweaty from my WOD.
Should I shower before my massage?

No, no need. We use fresh sheets for every client; and we use oil for the massage — so you may prefer to shower after the massage.

How often should I get a massage?

In great shape? Get a massage every four to six weeks. If you’re struggling with small nagging injuries, we recommend every two to three weeks. Most importantly, listen to your body.
