FAQs
Body tempering is a form of soft tissue mobilization that we use to enhance muscle performance, increase flexibility, and reduce pain. It involves using heavy, cylindrical implements to apply pressure and movement across muscles. It’s an excellent method to help you recover from workouts, reduce muscle tightness, and enhance your overall athletic performance.
While both body tempering and sports massage aim to alleviate muscle pain and improve performance, they’re quite different. Body tempering uses weighted implements to apply pressure, promoting recovery and performance enhancement. This differs from sports massage, which typically involves manual manipulation of the muscles and soft tissues. Both are effective, but they’re different tools we use to help you reach your performance goals.
While body tempering can feel intense, we wouldn’t describe it as painful. You might feel a bit of discomfort as we work on tight or sore areas, but it’s generally tolerable. And remember, we’re always here to ensure your comfort, so don’t hesitate to tell us if you’re feeling too much discomfort.
Typically, a body tempering session at Propel lasts around 30 minutes. However, the length can vary depending on your specific needs and the areas of your body we’re focusing on. We’ll always take the time to discuss your needs and goals before starting a session, ensuring we provide the best possible care.
No, you don’t need to prepare anything special before a body tempering session. We’d recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows us to easily access the areas we’ll be working on. Other than that, just come prepared to relax and let us help enhance your performance and health.
