Runner’s Massage
Specialized Treatments
Ever crushed miles in the morning light only to have fiery pain seize your calves and steal your momentum? Let a runner’s massage unlock your muscles—and your spirit—so you can chase every horizon with unwavering stride.
What is Runner’s Massage?
A runner's massage is a specialized form of massage therapy designed to target the muscles and soft tissues that are most affected by running. It focuses on relieving tension, improving flexibility, and enhancing circulation in areas like the calves, quads, hamstrings, and IT bands. The massage helps prevent injuries by addressing muscle tightness and stiffness, speeds up recovery after intense runs, and boosts overall performance. Whether you're training for a marathon or simply enjoy running, a runner's massage helps keep your body in optimal condition, allowing you to run longer, faster, and injury-free.
Improved Flexibility
Increases range of motion and reduces stiffness.

What to Expect
Your Runner’s Massage begins with a quick check-in to discuss your training routine and any sore spots. Selina then employs warming strokes and targeted techniques—compression, myofascial release, and gliding strokes—on your calves, quads, hamstrings, and IT bands to ease tension and boost circulation. You may feel firm pressure in tight areas, but it shouldn’t be painful—just let Selina know if you need any adjustments. The session finishes with dynamic stretches and personalized self-care tips to help you maintain mobility and speed up recovery. Expect to leave with lighter, more responsive legs and renewed readiness for your next run.
Pre- & Post-Run Tips
Pre-Run Do’s
Drink at least 16 oz of water 1–2 hours before you head out
Warm up with dynamic stretches (leg swings, lunges) to prepare your muscles
Have a light, carb-rich snack 30 minutes before running
Pre-Run Don’ts
Don’t skip your warm-up—cold muscles are more prone to injury
Avoid heavy meals right before you start
Post-Run Do’s
Rehydrate with water or an electrolyte drink within 30 minutes
Spend 5–10 minutes on static stretches (hamstrings, calves, quads)
Use foam rolling or self-massage on tight areas
Post-Run Don’ts
Don’t go straight from run to rest—give your body time to cool down
Avoid intense stretching on ice-cold muscles
These simple habits between sessions will keep you feeling strong and ready for your next run.
