f you’ve landed in Cusco and your body is feeling the effects of travel, altitude, or tough treks like the Inca Trail, Salkantay, or Ausangate — a sports massage in Cusco might be exactly what you need.
Whether you’re a serious hiker, a trail runner, or just exploring the cobbled streets of the city, Cusco’s combination of altitude and adventure can take a toll on your muscles. At ReEnergize Cusco, we offer professional, targeted deep tissue and sports massage therapies designed to help you recover, relax, and feel your best.
🏔️ Why Choose a Sports Massage in Cusco?
Cusco sits at over 3,300 meters (11,000 ft), and while it’s a beautiful and historic city, the altitude can be physically draining. Add to that the demands of trekking, walking tours, or long travel days, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for muscle tightness, fatigue, and tension.
That’s where we come in.
Our sports massage therapists are UK-trained, English-speaking professionals who understand the specific needs of travelers, athletes, and adventurers. We don’t just offer a quick rub-down — we deliver focused, therapeutic work that helps your body truly recover.
🦵 What is a Sports Massage?
Sports massage is a form of deep tissue massage that works on deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It’s designed to:
Reduce muscle soreness
Improve flexibility and circulation
Prevent injury
Speed up recovery after physical activity
Release long-held tension patterns
At ReEnergize Cusco, every session is tailored to you. Whether you need a post-trek leg recovery, relief for shoulder and back pain, or general relaxation, we adjust the pressure, techniques, and focus based on your needs.

💬 What Our Clients Say
“After finishing the Salkantay trek, my legs were done. This sports massage honestly brought me back to life.”
— Emily R., USA
"I scheduled a two hour massage session with Dan. He was very responsive and helpful trying to get me in. The massage session was between sports and deep tissue massage. I am a massage therapist and always hesitant to try new places, however Dan’s massage was outstanding. If I would live in Cusco, I would see him weekly. I can highly recommend Dan!" — Tula, USA
