Sports Recovery Massage in The Hamptons
Sports recovery massage is built around how you play. Charles combines deep tissue work, stretching and targeted release to help tight, overworked muscles recover, so you can get back on the course or court feeling loose and ready. Every session is customized to your sport and to what your body needs that day.
What is sports recovery massage?
Every sport stresses the body in its own way. A golf swing loads the hips and low back. A tennis serve loads the shoulder and elbow. Running loads the calves, hamstrings and feet.
Sports recovery massage focuses on the muscles your sport uses most. Charles uses a mix of deep tissue strokes, assisted stretching and slow, focused pressure on tight spots, adjusted to your training schedule.
Before a big match or round, the work is lighter and more energizing. After hard play, it is slower and deeper to help muscles settle and recover.
Who is it for?
- Golfers who want an easier, fuller turn
- Tennis and pickleball players with tight shoulders, forearms or calves
- Runners and cyclists logging regular miles
- Anyone who lifts weights or trains several times a week
- Weekend athletes who feel stiff the day after playing
What are the benefits?
- May reduce next-day soreness and stiffness
- Can help you move more freely through your swing or stroke
- Releases tight spots built up by repeated motions
- Encourages relaxation, which supports better sleep and recovery
- Helps you notice small tight areas before they become bigger problems
- Fits around your training, tournament or vacation schedule
What results can you expect?
Right after your session
Most clients feel looser and lighter, with an easier range of motion. Mild tenderness for a day is normal after deeper work.
Before your next round or match
Muscles often feel more ready to move, and familiar tight spots are usually less noticeable.
With regular sessions
Sessions every 1 to 3 weeks during your season can help keep repeat tightness under control.
Results vary by person. Sports massage supports recovery but does not diagnose or treat injuries.

How often should you book?
During your playing season, many clients book every 1 to 3 weeks. Before a tournament, a lighter session 2 to 3 days ahead works well. After a big event, book within a few days to help your body recover.
Every sports recovery session is customized to your body, your sport and how you feel that day, so the length and focus are planned with you. Sessions start at $150 for 30 minutes. Book online or call 631-533-2523 and Charles will recommend the right session.
When should you check with your doctor first?
Please talk with your doctor or physical therapist before booking if you have:
- A new injury, a suspected tear or fracture, or sudden swelling
- Surgery in the last few months
- A history of blood clots or you take blood thinners
- Numbness, tingling or pain that shoots down an arm or leg
- A fever, infection or active cancer treatment
Sports Recovery Massage FAQ
How much does sports recovery massage cost?
Sessions start at $150 for 30 minutes. Each session is customized to your sport and how you feel that day. Book online or call 631-533-2523 and Charles will recommend the right session.
Is sports massage the same as deep tissue massage?
They overlap. Sports recovery massage uses deep tissue techniques, but adds stretching and focuses on the muscles your sport uses most, timed around your training.
Should I get a massage before or after I play?
Both can help. A lighter session 2 to 3 days before an event keeps you loose. A deeper session a day or two after hard play helps you recover.
Can you come to my home or club in the Hamptons?
Yes. Your therapist brings everything needed to your home, hotel or estate. Studio sessions are available in Sag Harbor.
Can massage help if I am injured?
For a new or serious injury, see your doctor or physical therapist first. Once you are cleared, massage can be a helpful part of your recovery plan.
