Massage for Racquet & Club Sports · St. Petersburg, FL
Massage for pickleball, golf and tennis, 
The shoulder, the forearm, the hip, the knee — the places the game finds.
St. Pete plays pickleball the way other towns watch football, and golf and tennis never left. All three load the same places: the shoulder, the forearm, the hips, the knee. Massage here is one integrative session — 60, 90 or 120 minutes, $120, $175, $230 — built around where the game lives in you, with Niasja S. or Lisa S., LMT. Open until 11 PM.
The short answer
Massage for your sport, 
There is no separate “sports massage” price here, because there does not need to be: the integrative session already draws on deep tissue, Swedish, trigger point, myofascial release and stretching, and your therapist weights it toward what you tell her at intake. Pickleball tends to show up in the shoulder, the forearm and wrist, and the hips and knees from the quick low lunges. Golf lives in the lower back, the lead hip and the lead shoulder from the rotation. Tennis adds the serving shoulder and the calves. Say which sport, which side, and when you play next, and the session is built accordingly. This is bodywork, not treatment: we are not diagnosing anything, and a sharp or new injury belongs with a physician or physio first.
Niasja works Monday to Wednesday 10 AM–4 PM; Lisa works Thursday 1–11 PM and Friday to Saturday 10 AM–11 PM. See the full massage page.
How the session is built
The session, 
Intake. Your sport, your dominant side, how many days a week, what is tight and what is sore, and whether you are playing tomorrow. That last one changes the pressure: a deep session the night before a tournament is not the smart call, and your therapist will say so.
Where the time goes. In a 60-minute session the therapist cannot do everything, so she weights it — shoulder girdle and forearm for a racquet player, hips and low back for a golfer — and covers the rest more lightly. Ninety minutes is where the whole body gets real attention; 120 is for the player who hurts everywhere and has the evening free.
Techniques by therapist. With Niasja: sports massage, acupressure, a total-body stretch component, and recovery work for knees and shoulders. With Lisa: trigger point and myofascial release, deep tissue, and traditional Thai stretching done on the table — her hands moving your limbs through range while you do nothing. Warm stones and cups are tools either may use inside the session, not separate treatments.
After. Water, a slow walk to the car, and a lighter day tomorrow if you can manage it. Many players book the evening after league night; the 10 PM last start makes that realistic.
Being honest about it
Being honest about 
Not a recovery protocol, not a treatment. We describe this as bodywork because that is what it is. A new sharp pain, a swollen joint, numbness, or anything that happened with a pop belongs with a doctor or physical therapist first; tell us at intake and we work around it or send you there.
Before or after you play? After, for deep work. Before a match, lighter and shorter, and only if you have had massage before and know how your body responds. Your therapist will steer you.
Couples and groups. Massage here is one therapist in one private suite, so two players book back to back, not side by side. The Japanese head spa and the Root Room foot spa do run as duos, if one of you would rather not be on a table.
Who to ask for. If knees and shoulders are the story, or you want stretch built in, ask for Niasja (Monday–Wednesday days). If it is trigger points, deep tissue and Thai stretching, and you need an evening, ask for Lisa (Thursday–Saturday into the night).
Cancellations. Twenty-four hours’ notice is required. Cancellations under 24 hours are 50% of service cost; no-shows, arrivals 15+ minutes late, or cancellations under 4 hours are 100%.

Massage for Pickleball, Golf & Tennis · Common Questions
Sports massage 
Do you do sports massage for pickleball players in St. Petersburg?
Yes. Massage at The Bronze Lily is one integrative full-body session (60/90/120 minutes, $120/$175/$230) that your therapist weights toward your sport — for pickleball that is usually the shoulder, forearm and wrist, and the hips and knees from low lunges. Niasja S., LMT brings sports massage, stretch and knee-and-shoulder recovery work; Lisa S., LMT brings trigger point, myofascial release and table Thai stretching.
Is there a separate price for sports massage?
No. It is the same integrative session and the same price; what changes is where the therapist spends the time and which techniques she leans on. Say your sport and your dominant side at intake.
Golf: which massage should I book?
The 90-minute session ($175) if your lower back, lead hip and lead shoulder all need attention; 60 minutes ($120) if it is mostly one of them. Lisa’s table Thai stretching is popular with golfers who want rotation worked through range; Niasja’s stretch component does similar work on her days.
Should I get a massage before or after I play?
After, for deep work. Before a match, keep it light and short, and only if you already know how your body responds to massage. A deep session the night before a tournament is not the smart call and your therapist will say so.
Can you treat tennis elbow or a pickleball injury?
We do not treat conditions — this is bodywork, not medical care. A sharp new pain, swelling, numbness or anything that happened with a pop should see a doctor or physical therapist first. Tell us at intake and we work around it or send you there.
How late can I book a massage after an evening match?
Last 60-minute start is 10 PM on Lisa’s days (Thursday 1–11 PM, Friday and Saturday 10 AM–11 PM). Niasja works Monday to Wednesday 10 AM–4 PM, last start 3 PM. No evening surcharge.
Can two of us get a massage at the same time?
Back to back, not side by side — one therapist, one private suite. If one of you prefers not to be on a table, the Japanese head spa and the Root Room foot spa both run as side-by-side duos.
How do I book?
