Deep tissue sports recovery massage at Andrea Massage and Spa in Little Neck combines two approaches into one session that helps active clients recover faster and reduce muscle soreness. Deep tissue pressure reaches the layers where training tension settles, and sports massage techniques such as compression, friction and assisted stretching bring the muscles back to a ready state. Athletes and gym goers from Little Neck, Douglaston, Great Neck and Bayside book it in the days after hard training.
When you arrive at our Douglaston Parkway studio, your therapist asks what you have been training, where you feel sore and whether any area needs extra care. The session is then built around that picture, with the most time given to the muscles you have worked hardest. Google reviewers describe the therapist as professional and the massage as very good.
Deep Pressure Paired With Sports Techniques
Warming strokes prepare the tissue before your therapist moves into slow deep pressure along the muscle fibers of the glutes, hamstrings, calves and upper back. Compression and friction follow over the sorest spots, and each muscle group finishes with an assisted stretch. The pace stays slow so the deeper layers have time to release, and your therapist checks in throughout to keep the pressure productive.
Recovery Massage Around the Clock
Andrea Massage and Spa is open 24 hours, every day, so recovery fits after an early morning run or a late evening session at the gym. Call (917) 485-9799 to check availability and talk through your recent training. Bookings and payments are handled directly through the studio, so confirm the details with us before your visit.
