For recovery when one spot feels tight after training. ![Sports massage on the calf](https://kainezitherapy.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/sport-massage-2-1024x765.webp) Partial sports massage is a sports massage of one area of the body. Most often it’s a sports massage for the legs (calves and thighs) or for the back and shoulders. It suits you when you train regularly and one muscle group works harder than the rest. Kaloyan Zarkov has worked with sports clubs and knows which muscles each sport loads, so all the time goes to the area that feels tight. ## What to expect When you book, or at the start of the appointment, say which area you want, what sport you do and when your next competition or hard session is. The massage is on a treatment table, with oil, and you only undress that area. Kaloyan alternates quick and deeper strokes, holds pressure on tight spots and adds stretching. He can also use the same warmed Ergon tool as in the full-body sports massage: a fascial blade, which loosens the tissue around the muscles (the fascia), and vibration. The pressure is firmer than in a relaxing massage. If it’s too firm, say so and he will ease off. The next day the area may feel slightly tender, as it does after a workout. ## How it differs from sports massage and partial body massage The difference is in how much of the body is massaged and in the aim. [Sports massage](https://kainezitherapy.com/en/services/massage/sports-massage/) covers the whole body and is the better choice in a hard training period or before a competition. Partial sports massage is the same kind of work, but for one area only, for example the calves after running or the shoulders after swimming. [Partial body massage](https://kainezitherapy.com/en/services/massage/partial-massage/) is also for one area, but it isn’t linked to training: it suits a stiff neck and back from desk work, with the pressure you choose. ## Who is this massage for? - You run or cycle and your calves and thighs are always tight. - You swim, play tennis or lift weights and your shoulders and back are slow to recover. - The same area feels tight after every workout, while the rest of your body is fine. - You want a massage between training sessions without making time for a full-body massage. ## When it isn’t suitable - In the first days after a strain, tear or sprain. The injury needs assessing first, not a massage in the area. - With bruising, swelling or a skin infection in the area. - With a fever. - With varicose veins or thrombosis, if the area is the legs. - With pain that gets worse under load and doesn’t ease with rest. You need an examination first. ## Packages for partial sports massage Pay for several sessions at once: you get a free session and a lower price for every session. ### Partial sports massage Sports massage of one area, 30 min. - 5 sessions + 1 free · €190.00 · €31.67 per session · **you save €50.00 (20%)** - 10 sessions + 1 free · €330.00 · €30.00 per session · **you save €110.00 (25%)** You can buy a package at any time at the practice or when you [contact us](https://kainezitherapy.com/en/contact-us/).

Most often the legs (calves and thighs) or the back and shoulders. When you book, say which area feels tight and what you train. ### Does sports massage for the legs help after running? Yes. Most runners feel their calves and thighs lighter after the massage. The best time is on a rest day or 1–2 days after a long run. ### When is a full-body sports massage the better choice? When your whole body feels the load, for example in a hard training period or before a competition. If one spot feels tight, a partial sports massage is usually enough. ### How often can I come? As often as you need. During a heavy build-up, many athletes come every 1–2 weeks. If you train less, one massage a month is usually enough. ## More in Massage [All services in Massage](https://kainezitherapy.com/en/services/massage/) - [Deep tissue massage](https://kainezitherapy.com/en/services/massage/deep-tissue-massage/) · 50 min · €40.00 · Deep tissue massage in Sofia: a full-body massage with slower, firmer pressure that reaches the deeper layers of tight muscles. - [Therapeutic massage](https://kainezitherapy.com/en/services/massage/therapeutic-massage/) · 50 min · €40.00 · Therapeutic massage in Sofia by a kinesitherapist: full body, with extra time on the areas that hurt, such as the back, lower back, neck or shoulders. - [Relaxing massage](https://kainezitherapy.com/en/services/massage/relaxing-massage/) · 50 min · €40.00 · Relaxing massage in Sofia: a full-body massage with smooth strokes and light to medium pressure, to loosen your muscles and ease tension from stress. - [Sports massage](https://kainezitherapy.com/en/services/massage/sports-massage/) · 50 min · €50.00 · Sports massage in Sofia from a kinesitherapist who has worked with sports clubs: faster recovery after training and looser muscles. - [Partial body massage](https://kainezitherapy.com/en/services/massage/partial-massage/) · 30 min · €30.00 · Back and neck massage in Sofia, or another single area such as the lower back or legs: for when one spot feels tight and you don’t need a full-body massage. ## Want to improve your health?
