Questions

Sports Massage: common questions

Is sports massage only for athletes?

No. It suits anyone whose muscles feel tight from exercise, physical work or long hours at a desk. Tell your therapist where you feel it most and they will focus there.

How is sports massage different from deep tissue?

Both use firm pressure. Sports massage adds assisted stretching and concentrates on the muscles you train or use most, while deep tissue spends its time on slow, sustained pressure into knots and tension.

When should I book around a race or workout?

Many people book a day or two after a hard session or event. Tell us what you have coming up and we will set the pressure to match.

How do I book, and can I cancel?

Book online, which shows the open times for the day you choose, or call (650) 272-6881. Payment is taken when you book, and you can cancel or reschedule at least 2 hours ahead for a full refund.

Where is W Spa, and where do I park?

441 Waverley St in downtown Palo Alto, half a block off University Avenue. There is free street parking in front; check the posted sign for the time limit. Palo Alto Caltrain is about a 10-minute walk.

Can I add hot stone, cupping or a body scrub?

Yes. Hot stone ($20), cupping ($30) and body scrub ($30) each add 5 minutes to the appointment. Add one when you book online, or call (650) 272-6881 to add it to a booking you have already made.
