Runner Training Packages

Massage built around your training.

Most training plans account for mileage, speed work, and rest days. What they leave out is soft tissue recovery timed to your race date. These packages do that.

How it works

Four steps from purchase to plan.

1

Pick your package

Match your race distance and timing. Maintenance if you're not racing.

2

Share your details

Race date, weekly mileage, problem areas. A short form, not a medical intake.

3

Get your plan

Session dates, focus areas, and booking links arrive in your inbox within minutes.

4

Stay on track

If a session goes unbooked as your suggested window approaches, we'll send a reminder about a week out.

Your personalized recovery plan

Not a template. Built for your race.

After purchase, you fill out a short form. We build a recovery plan around your race date, mileage, and problem areas and email it within minutes.

1

Fill out a short form

Race name and date, weekly mileage, experience level, problem areas. Takes about two minutes.

2

We build your plan

Your race date, training volume, and injury history generate a personalized plan with specific session dates, focus areas, and booking links.

3

Plan arrives in minutes

Your plan lands in your inbox and gets saved to your appointment profile so your therapist sees it when you walk in.

4

Race changes? Update anytime

If your race date or training shifts, update your form and we'll rebuild the plan automatically.

Sample plan — Oakland Marathon
Session 1 · 60 min · 14 weeks out
Build Phase Assessment
Addresses your hamstrings, hips, and calves before mileage peaks. We establish what needs the most attention during the build.
Session 2 · 90 min · 6 weeks out
Peak Training Deep Work
Extended time during your highest mileage week. We work through your legs, hips, and lower back thoroughly.
Session 3 · 45 min · 1 week out
Taper Flush
Short and light by design. No deep tissue this close to race day. You leave feeling loose, not worked over.
Session 4 · 90 min · 3–7 days after
Post-Race Recovery
Full lower chain at comfortable pressure. Post-race tissue is tender — we adjust accordingly.

Common questions

What you're probably wondering.

How does the personalized recovery plan work?
After purchasing, you fill out a short form with your race date, weekly mileage, and problem areas. We build your plan from that and email it within minutes with specific session dates, focus areas, and booking links.
What if my race date changes?
Let us know and we'll rebuild your plan around the new date. Your sessions are yours regardless — we just adjust the timing and focus areas.
Can I use sessions for non-running issues?
Yes. Your sessions work for any appointment type. If your shoulder is bothering you more than your calves that week, we work on what matters most.
Do sessions expire?
No. Sessions never expire and can be shared with friends or family.
What's the difference from standard packages?
Standard packages are simple 3-session bundles at a discount. Runner packages include varied session lengths matched to your training phases, plus a personalized recovery plan with specific timing and automated booking reminders.
Can I book all my sessions at once?
Yes. After you receive your plan, you can book all sessions immediately or come back one at a time. If a session goes unbooked as your suggested window approaches, we'll send a reminder about a week out.
