Sports Massage (60min)

A full-body sports massage designed for athletes and active individuals. Combines deep pressure, stretching, and targeted work on muscle groups under load to improve recovery, reduce delayed-onset muscle soreness, and restore range of motion.

Sports massage at Andrii Kondakov's studio is a structured, full-body treatment designed for people who train regularly — runners, cyclists, CrossFit athletes, weekend warriors, and anyone whose physical activity creates recurring muscular tension. The session lasts 60 minutes and addresses the entire body with emphasis on the areas most affected by the client's specific sport or training pattern. The therapist begins with a brief assessment of the client's current complaints, training schedule, and any acute or chronic problem areas. Treatment combines several manual techniques: deep effleurage to warm tissue and increase circulation, petrissage (kneading) to break adhesions in muscle bellies, trigger point therapy for localised knots, and passive stretching to restore range of motion in tight joints. Pressure is adapted throughout — firmer on large muscle groups like the quadriceps, hamstrings, and upper back, lighter around joints and bony prominences. Sports massage differs from relaxation massage in both intent and intensity. The goal is functional: reducing muscle tension that impairs performance, accelerating recovery between training sessions, and identifying compensatory movement patterns before they lead to injury. Regular sports massage clients often report improved training quality, reduced frequency of minor strains, and better body awareness. At 1,500 CZK (approximately 60 EUR) for a 60-minute session, the studio offers pricing that is competitive within Prague and roughly 40 to 50 percent below equivalent sports massage rates in Western Europe, where 60-minute sessions typically range from 80 to 120 EUR. The studio's extended operating hours — 06:30 to 22:00, seven days a week — make it practical to schedule sessions around training, whether as a pre-competition warm-up or a post-training recovery session. No special preparation is required. Clients should hydrate well before and after the session. Light soreness in heavily worked areas for 24 to 48 hours is normal and indicates effective tissue release.
