Tight Hips From Hockey or Sore Back From Lifting? What to Book | South Edmonton
Every sport loads the body differently. These answers cover hockey, weightlifting, golf and yoga, and the sessions that may help each one.
I play hockey and my hips and groin are always tight. What should I book?
Hockey puts a lot of load on hip flexors, groin and low back. A sports maintenance massage or acupuncture for hip mobility may help keep those areas moving well during the season.
Book: Sports Massage – 60 min (Maintenance Care) ($115) or AcuRelief 45 min Hip Mobility + Sciatic Pain ($105)
My lower back gets tight from deadlifts and squats. What can help?
Heavy lifting can leave the low back, glutes and hips tight. An Advanced Deep Tissue massage or acupuncture for back pain may help relieve that tightness. Sudden sharp pain during a lift, or pain down the leg, should be checked by a health professional.
Book: Advanced Deep Tissue Massage 60 mins ($125) or AcuRelief 60 min Back Pain Relief ($145)
My shoulder hurts after bench press or overhead lifts. What should I do?
Shoulder pain from lifting often involves tight chest, upper back and rotator cuff muscles. A rehab-focused sports massage or upper body acupuncture may help ease tension. If you have weakness lifting your arm, clicking with pain, or pain at night, see a physiotherapist or doctor.

I golf and my back and shoulders get sore. Can massage help?
The golf swing puts a lot of rotation through the back, hips and shoulders. A sports maintenance massage or acupuncture for sports recovery may help you stay loose through the season.

I do yoga but still feel tight. What massage is best?
Traditional Thai massage is done fully clothed on a mat and combines pressure and assisted stretches, which many yoga lovers enjoy. It may help you go deeper into stretches you can't reach on your own.
Book: Traditional Thai Massage 60 mins ($130)
