Train Harder.
Race Faster.
Recover Smarter.
Hyrox puts your body through 8km of running and 8 gruelling workout stations. Specialist sports massage therapy isn't an add-on for serious Hyrox athletes — it's part of the programme.
8km Run. 8 Stations.
Total Body Punishment.
Hyrox is one of the most physically demanding fitness races in the world. Understanding what it does to your body is the first step in recovering from it properly.
Where Hyrox Hits Hard
Every station loads specific muscles in specific ways. Treatment is targeted to the exact demands your training and racing places on your body.
Quadriceps & Hip Flexors
The most commonly overloaded muscles in Hyrox. Repeated knee drive during running combined with deep lunges and squatting creates significant quad fatigue and hip flexor tightening.
Hamstrings & Glutes
The posterior chain is under enormous eccentric load during sled work and carries. Hamstring strains and glute fatigue are among the most common post-race complaints in Hyrox athletes.
Shoulders & Upper Back
The SkiErg and rowing stations demand sustained shoulder and lat engagement. Trapezius overload and rotator cuff fatigue are hallmarks of Hyrox training and often persist post-race.
Core & Lower Back
Core stability underpins every Hyrox movement. Farmers carries and heavy lunges under fatigue often expose core weakness and lead to lower back stiffness and disc-related issues post-race.
Calves & Achilles
Continuous running volume combined with plyometric burpee jumps creates calf and achilles loading that is a significant source of post-race tightness and tendinopathy risk over a training block.
Forearms & Grip
Grip fatigue from carry events and pulling stations is often overlooked until it becomes a performance limiter or develops into forearm tightness during long training cycles.
Three Phases. One Goal.
A structured approach to sports massage that matches your Hyrox training calendar — from your first training session all the way to crossing the finish line.
Training Block Support
Throughout your training cycle — weekly or fortnightly
Regular sports massage during your build phase is about staying healthy and training consistently. Identify and address issues before they become injuries that halt your prep.
- Muscle maintenance & tissue health
- Early injury identification
- DOMS management & recovery acceleration
- Personalised homecare exercise prescription
- Mobility & flexibility work
Race Week Preparation
5–7 days before your Hyrox event
Race week is about priming your body, not loading it. A carefully timed pre-race massage increases blood flow, reduces taper stiffness, and ensures you arrive at the start line feeling sharp, loose and ready.
- Pre-race muscle priming
- Taper stiffness & tightness relief
- Hyrox-specific station muscle focus
- Nervous system activation work
- Race-day warm-up strategy advice
Post-Race Recovery
24–72 hours after your Hyrox event
After crossing the finish line, your body needs active help to recover. Post-race therapy flushes metabolic waste, reduces acute soreness, and begins the rebuilding process — so you're back training sooner.
- Lactic acid & metabolic waste flush
- Pulsio compression boots treatment (30 min)
- Targeted sports massage (30 min)
- Acute soreness & DOMS management
- Return-to-training guidance
Your Perfect Race Week
Here's how to structure your therapy sessions around race day to peak at exactly the right moment.
Last Hard Training Session
Final high-intensity workout of your taper. Start reducing load and letting your body absorb the training block you've built.
Pre-Race Sports Massage
Ideal timing for your pre-race session with Daniel. Deep enough to address any lingering tightness, far enough out not to leave you feeling heavy on race day. Book in advance — this slot fills fast around events.
Light Movement Only
Short easy run or light mobility only. No intensity. Focus on sleep, nutrition and hydration. Your fitness is already banked.
Execute Your Race
You've done the work. Trust your prep. Run your first 1km conservatively — the sled will find you regardless.
Post-Race Recovery Session
Book your Recovery Session 24–48 hours after the event. Compression boots followed by sports massage will dramatically reduce your soreness timeline and get you moving again within days, not weeks.
