Massage Therapy for CrossFit Athletes: Off-Season Recovery & Mobility

Winter is the perfect time for CrossFitters and functional fitness athletes to focus on strength, mobility, and recovery. At Nobility Performance, we help athletes from Stittsville, Kanata, and Ottawa use massage therapy to recover from heavy lifts, prevent injuries, and get ready for next season’s competitions.

Why CrossFit Athletes Need Massage Therapy in the Off-Season

• Heavy strength cycles can lead to muscle tightness and joint stiffness
• Old injuries or imbalances may flare up during higher volume training
• Focus on mobility and recovery now pays off when competition season returns

Massage therapy helps you:

• Speed up recovery after tough workouts
• Improve flexibility and joint mobility for better lifts and technique
• Address muscle imbalances and prevent injuries
• Mentally reset and stay motivated for winter training

How Nobility Performance Supports CrossFit Athletes

Assessment:
We’ll discuss your training plan, goals, and any pain or tightness. Your RMT will assess movement, muscle tension, and mobility.

Treatment:
Sessions include deep tissue, sports massage, myofascial release, and stretching for the muscle groups CrossFitters use most (shoulders, hips, back, legs).

Plan:
You’ll leave with recovery tips, mobility drills, and self-care strategies for your off-season training.
