Runner’s Massage
Recover Faster and Run Stronger
Running is a high-impact sport that challenges the legs, hips, lower back, and feet. Over time, repetitive motion and muscle fatigue can lead to tightness, soreness, and even injuries. Whether you're training for a marathon or enjoy casual jogs, a Runner’s Massage is essential for muscle recovery, injury prevention, and peak performance.
At Selina’s Therapy Center, we provide specialized massage therapy for runners, helping you stay pain-free and achieve your running goals.
What is a Runner’s Massage?
A Runner’s Massage is a targeted therapy designed to release muscle tension, improve circulation, and enhance flexibility in the muscles most used during running. This includes the calves, hamstrings, quads, glutes, lower back, and feet.
Using a combination of deep tissue techniques, myofascial release, and assisted stretching, a Runner’s Massage helps to:
✔ Reduce muscle stiffness and soreness for faster recovery.
✔ Increase circulation to remove lactic acid buildup.
✔ Prevent injuries by maintaining muscle and joint flexibility.
✔ Enhance running performance by improving movement efficiency.
