Deep pressure on overloaded back muscles during a sports massage at ESCAPE
deep muscle work

Faster recovery, less pain

Sports massage goes straight to what's tight. With targeted, deeper pressure it works the overloaded muscle groups — dissolving knots, releasing stiff fibres and boosting circulation, so you're not dragging your legs the day after training.

It shortens recovery, restores your range of motion and springiness, and helps head off the overload that ends in injury. Runners, cyclists and lifters will feel it — and so will anyone whose back has seized up from sitting at a desk.

What you take home

Faster recovery

Sore muscles get moving again and the day after training you're no longer dragging your legs — recovery runs at full speed.

Injury prevention

Suppler, looser muscles carry you better and are far less likely to let you down next time.

Pain relief

Targeted pressure dissolves the muscle knots and the post-training stiffness eases while you're still on the couch.

Greater range of motion

Your joints open up and you feel freer and ready to go all-out again.

How it works at ESCAPE

  • You arrive and slow down

    First you tell us which areas trouble you and how intensely you train, then settle in comfortably — there's no hurry.

  • Targeted work on overloaded muscles

    The therapist focuses on the overloaded muscle groups, combining deep kneading, targeted pressure on the knots and stretching.

  • You set the pace

    Say "SOFT" or "STRONG" anytime and the therapist adjusts the intensity right away. A cup of tea waits for you at the end.

Suitable for recreational and competitive athletes, before a race and after it. For a fresh injury or acute inflammation choose a gentler traditional Thai massage instead.

Recovery your muscles will thank you for

who it's for

Who a sports massage is ideal for

A sports massage in Prague is for everyone who puts their body under regular strain — runners, cyclists, gym-goers and team-sport players. It aids recovery after exercise, releases overloaded muscle groups and prepares the legs and back for the next session. But it's just as useful without sport: desk work and repetitive strain shorten and stiffen the muscles much as a workout does.

Targeted, deeper pressure dissolves muscle knots, improves range of motion and speeds the flushing of waste products after a demanding day. That's exactly why recreational athletes also seek out a recovery massage after sport, to head off pain and stiffness. If you're looking for a sports massage for stiff muscles in central Prague, our salon in Josefov offers experienced therapists and an intensity you set with the words SOFT and STRONG.

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time for a sports massage?
A recovery massage is ideal 1–2 days after hard exertion. A lighter, circulation-boosting massage can be done before a race too.
Will the massage hurt?
The pressure is deeper than a relaxation massage, but never unpleasant. We always adjust the intensity with SOFT and STRONG.
Will it help with muscle soreness?
Yes. Muscle circulation speeds the removal of waste products and eases post-training soreness.
How often should I repeat it?
With regular training we recommend once a week to once every two weeks.
How much does a sports massage in Prague cost?
A sports massage at ESCAPE starts at 1,990 CZK for 60 minutes; 90 minutes is 2,490 CZK and 120 minutes 2,990 CZK. These prices apply at our salon in central Prague.
How do I book and how long does a sports massage take?
We offer 60, 90 and 120-minute sessions. Book online or call +420 734 331 444; we're open daily 10:00–22:00.
How long before a race should I schedule the massage?
We recommend a deep recovery massage 2–3 days before a race so the muscles have time to recover. Right before the start, choose only a lighter, circulation-boosting massage.
