Tennis Recovery Massage in The Hamptons
Tennis asks a lot from your body: explosive sprints, quick stops, overhead serves and thousands of swings. Charles focuses on the shoulders, arms, calves and hips that take the most strain, so you recover faster between matches and stay loose all season.
Why do tennis players need recovery massage?
Every serve and overhead puts stress on the small rotator cuff muscles of your shoulder. Every forehand and backhand works your forearm and grip. Every sprint, stop and change of direction loads your calves, thighs and hips.
Because you hit mostly with one arm, your dominant side often gets much tighter than the other. Tight calves and hips can also make your footwork feel heavy.
Tennis recovery massage targets these areas with deep tissue strokes, stretching and slow, focused release, timed around your matches and practice.
Who is it for?
- Players with a tight or sore serving shoulder
- Anyone with achy forearms or tennis elbow tightness
- Players whose calves and feet feel tight after matches
- League and tournament players with back-to-back matches
- Pickleball players who share many of the same tight spots
What are the benefits for tennis players?
- May ease tightness in the serving shoulder and upper back
- Can relieve forearm and grip tension around the elbow
- Helps loosen calves, hamstrings and hips for quicker footwork
- May reduce soreness between matches
- Helps balance the dominant-side tightness tennis creates
- Encourages deep relaxation and better sleep during tournaments
What results can tennis players expect?
Right after your session
Shoulders, arms and legs usually feel looser, and reaching overhead feels easier.
At your next match
Many players notice lighter legs and less stiffness in the serving shoulder.
Over the season
Regular sessions every 1 to 3 weeks help manage the repeat tightness of frequent play.
Results vary by person. Massage supports recovery and comfort but does not diagnose or treat injuries.

How often should tennis players book?
During the season, every 1 to 3 weeks works well for most players. During a tournament, a short, lighter session between match days can help you stay loose.

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
Tennis Recovery Massage FAQ
Can massage help tennis elbow?
Massage can ease tightness in the forearm muscles that attach near the elbow. If you have sharp, worsening or long-lasting elbow pain, see your doctor first.
When should I book around a tennis match?
A lighter session 1 to 2 days before a match keeps you loose without feeling heavy. A deeper session the day after hard play helps recovery.
Is this good for pickleball players too?
Yes. Pickleball uses many of the same muscles, especially the shoulder, forearm, calves and hips.
Can you come to my home or club?
Yes. In-home sessions are available across the Hamptons, or you can visit the Sag Harbor studio.
How much does a tennis recovery session 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.
