FAQ

Can I gift an in-home massage?

Absolutely! You can purchase gift certificates directly from the Kicking Lotus website. You can find our gift cards section in the menu at the bottom of the page.

Is it normal to have soreness after a massage?

Yes, it can be normal after a deep massage. By loosening knots, it can create microtrauma and inflammation, and then allow the muscle fibers to realign. Discomfort rarely lasts more than 48 hours. To relieve, use heat, a warm bath, gentle stretching and drink plenty of water. Contact us if the soreness persists.

How long should I wait before training after a massage?

It is recommended to wait 24 hours, but be aware that you will probably not be at your best yet. The response may also vary depending on the type of massage you received and your personal time to assimilate a massage. Talk to your massage therapist for personalized advice.

Can I train after a massage?

As a general rule, it is not recommended to do an intense physical workout right after a massage, as it could compromise the benefits of the massage and increase the risk of injury. Take it easy, but it's okay to go for a walk. And of course, this excludes pre-competition activation sports massages.

When should I make another appointment?

The assimilation time of a massage is about 48 hours, so this is the minimum time between your sessions. After that, it all depends on the type of massage you received, your preferences, your needs, your availability, your wallet, your insurance coverage, etc. You can discuss this with your therapist.
