• After sport: Choose a sport massage for targeted recovery.
• Group moments: Coordinate a street chair massage at your pitch or a Bakkums Hoeve group session to make everyone’s day.

Practical tips for a great experience

1. Book early
   • High season is popular and pre-/post-season has limited slots. Reserve as soon as you set your travel dates.
2. Use the dedicated reservation line
   • Call the Massage Phone +31 (6) 43 47 29 30. If no one picks up, leave a message to get a callback.
3. Arrive a few minutes early
   • Give yourself time to settle—especially helpful before Access Bars and relaxation sessions.
4. Choose the right duration
   • For focused work, 30 minutes can be sufficient (high season options). For full-body or deeper results, 50–60 minutes is typically best.
5. Dress for comfort
   • Chair massage+ and Access Bars don’t require undressing. For oil-based options, wear something easy to change.
6. Hydrate and rest
   • Light hydration before and after can support how you feel post-massage.
7. Plan post-treatment time
   • Consider a calm activity after your session—a gentle stroll, a relaxed meal, or quiet time back at your pitch.
