FAQs
Body tempering is a method of soft tissue mobilization that uses weighted cylindrical tools to apply pressure and movement across your muscles. It’s designed to help reduce tightness, enhance flexibility, speed up recovery, and improve your overall athletic performance. Whether you’re recovering from a workout or working to prevent injuries, it’s an incredibly effective technique.
Both body tempering and sports massage aim to alleviate muscle discomfort and improve performance, but the methods are different. Body tempering uses weighted tools to apply deep pressure, which helps break down muscle tension and boost circulation. Sports massage typically involves hands-on manipulation to improve muscle function and relieve tension. Both methods are complementary, but body tempering offers a more intense, focused approach to muscle recovery.
Body tempering can feel intense, especially on tight or sore muscles, but it’s generally not painful. You might experience discomfort as we work through tough areas, but it should be bearable. Our goal is always to ensure you’re comfortable, so let us know if anything feels too intense.
A typical body tempering session usually lasts around 30 minutes, although the exact length depends on your specific needs and areas of focus. We’ll always discuss your goals before the session begins to ensure the treatment is tailored to you.
There’s no special preparation needed for body tempering. Simply wear comfortable clothing that allows us to access the muscles we’ll be working on. Beyond that, just come ready to relax and enjoy the benefits of this powerful treatment.
