Sports massage at Physio Clinic Suchánek applies classic massage techniques alongside modern physiotherapy-informed methods to prepare the body for athletic performance or accelerate recovery after training and competition. The 55-minute session addresses the most common sites of sports-related tension — hamstrings, quadriceps, calves, hip flexors, thoracic spine, and shoulder girdle — using combinations of effleurage, deep petrissage, cross-fibre friction, and stretching to restore muscle extensibility and circulation. Longer 85- and 110-minute formats allow full-body coverage for multi-sport athletes.
