Post-ski and snowboard massage in Geneva or chalet
After a day in Verbier, Crans, Megève or Chamonix : tetanised quadriceps, locked calves, stiff lower back. A sports massage the same evening or back in Geneva prevents waking up the next morning in pieces. In-home, chalet or resort hotel by arrangement.
Why a massage after sport
A 4-6 hour ski day loads quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings and calves across extreme amplitudes. For an executive skiing a full week, the accumulation translates to performance drop from day 3-4, and soreness that can spoil the week. The well-placed massage is the best-documented recovery tool.
After the last run
60 min of light drainage or soft Swedish. Focus quads, calves, glutes. No deep pressure : fibres still in acute stress.
Hold the fatigue
90 min of modulated sports massage. Free neck and lower back. Lets you hold 2-3 more days without performance drop.
Intensive recovery
Sunday evening or Monday morning : 90 min of firm sports. Trigger point work on quads and hamstrings.
Avoid injuries
October-November : 2-3 sports sessions to prepare fibres before season. Combined with strengthening, reduces injury risk 20-30%.
For guests in mountain chalets (Verbier, Crans, Megève, Chamonix), on-site visit with portable table and oils. Coordination with concierges of private residences on prior arrangement.

Book a therapist →Frequently asked questions
How long after sport should I book the massage ?
Depends on goal. Same evening : drainage or light Swedish only, never deep. D+2 or D+3 : modulated sports massage. D+7 and beyond : deep work possible.
Massage before or after an event ?
Both work. Before (48-72h) : light massage that relaxes without fatiguing. Never the day before a competitive event (residual soreness risk). After (24h+) : to accelerate recovery.
Is it covered by insurance ?
LAMal : no. Sports massage is wellness / prevention, not medical. LCA supplementary : sometimes 50-80% depending on your contract (complementary medicines or health prevention module). Ask for an LCA-compatible invoice at booking.
Typical booking lead time ?
Off-season : 24h ahead. Peak season (Christmas, February, Easter holidays) : 48-72h to guarantee evening slot. Morning slots usually available 24h ahead.
Which therapist for sports ?
Our team has sports experience (former sports physios, therapists from hotel spa or SUVA, or club background). We assign the most experienced for your profile.
Difference vs standard massage ?
Sports massage focuses on recovery and performance over relaxation. Firmer pressure at moments, specific techniques (drainage effleurage, deep kneading, assisted stretching). Sometimes enriched oils (arnica, wintergreen). No automatic zen music : if you prefer silence, we respect it.
