Why Runners Need Specialized Massage

Running is high impact. Even with perfect form, repetitive stress adds up over hundreds of miles. Small imbalances, past injuries, or tight muscles can snowball into sidelining pain.

Common issues we see in NYC runners include:

  • Shin splints
  • Plantar fasciitis / heel pain
  • Runner’s knee (patellofemoral pain)
  • IT band syndrome
  • Ankle sprains
  • Hip and low back tightness

Left untreated, these injuries don’t just ruin a training cycle — they can linger for months.


How Runner’s Massage Helps

Our therapists combine sports massage in NYC with medical massage precision to target the specific needs of runners.

Benefits include:

  • Reducing muscle tension and hotspots before they become injuries
  • Improving circulation to speed healing
  • Restoring range of motion in ankles, hips, and knees using PNF and advanced stretching techniques
  • Improving and smoothing gait to reduce wear and tear and improve times
  • Correcting compensations that lead to overuse injuries
  • Preparing your body for peak performance

We tailor every session to where you are in training — whether that’s recovering from a long run, tapering before a race, or rebuilding after an injury.
