Sports massage

You do not have to be an Olympic athlete in order to have a sports massage, but you should expect it tobe a lot deeper than your average massage. That said, I see old and young people in my clinic, from stiff“lap-top” shoulders, recovering movement after surgery, to prevention and recovery from sports issues.

Together we will figure out what strategy is best for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I work out on the same day as the massage?

To get the most out of your treatment, I recommend that you do not do any sports after your massage on that day, or stick to very light active-recovery, nothing heavy. The body cannot recover and work out hard at the same time. Read more in this blog post .

Should I book a sports-massage or osteopathy?

If you are struggling with a particular injury or pain, and you want a more in depth focus on that, then osteopathy is recommended. Sports-massage can be a great solution to your problem as well, but the treatment will be more general than an osteopathic treatment. If you are still not sure, please contact me.

How long is a sports massage treatment?

By default a sports massage is always 60 minutes. Your initial treatment is 60 minutes. This will allow meto gather enough information to know how to best proceed. After that you have the option to schedule a 45/60/90 minutes session.

How many sessions do I need?

That always depends on the issue you have and how long you have had it. That said, I expect to see a change within 3-4 sessions. If you want to work preventative to stay injury free, schedule a session on a regular basis, like every 3-6 weeks, is a great idea. It is an investment in your health and life quality. Your body will thank you.

I’m pregnant. Can I have a massage?

Your body goes through a lot of changes during a pregnancy, and a massage is a great way to relieve some of the extra pressure and tension, and helping your body to adjust.
When you are no longer able to lie on your stomach, a comfortable side-lying position supported by pillows is used. Massage is possible during the entire pregnancy, unless your doctor has told you otherwise.

“Nathalie can use several techniques and combine them so that I always get a direct relief to my tense muscles. Already one hour in her hands makes wonders. I love her approach to see the client as a whole; mind, body and spirit. She does her work with passion and warmth. You can feel that.”

Nathalie is a real professional, she has so much knowledge and gives great massage! As an athlete I am grateful to have her since she knows how to treat my body for achieveing the best recovery. She has strong hands and can give an intense massage which is absolutely great! At the same time she is helping me overcome my injuries and she releases the tension on my muscles so I fully trust her. I always leave feeling so relaxed and without any stress! The hour is flying every single tome! Totally worth it!

In only one session Nathalie helped me get rid of a nasty shoulder pain. She is highly experienced and the atmosphere in her practice is warm and welcoming. Highly recommended to get on touch with her in case of any muscle or joint pain.

New location, new review: With the move to a new location in the center of Haarlem, Tigersports has stepped up their game again in 2021. I'm coming for sports-massages for more than two years now. As a Crossfit Coach and Athlete, my body is my daily tool for work. Here, it is in the best hands I can imagine. The quality of the bodywork is outstanding and the atmosphere in the new location is super relaxing. Everything is neat, clean and up to the highest standard. Could not recommend this enough!
-Simon W. Athlete and CrossFit Coach
Nathalie knows what she is doing: solid massages that are effective. I visit her regularly for maintenance and injury prevention. Recommended!
-Hans, Running Coach
I am very happy with Nathalie. With her you are in expert and very experienced hands. A sports massage once a month remedies and prevents aches and stiffness for me. Also a beautiful and pleasant practice space.
