The face behind Optimus

Portrait of Koen Burger, sports masseur at Optimus Massage

Optimus Massage offers a firm, effective and genuinely relaxing sports massage in Amsterdam. A sports massage improves the blood flow to your muscles, so waste products are removed faster and your body recovers more quickly. It also helps prevent injuries caused by overloading your muscles.

A sports massage is not only for athletes, but for everyone.

I come to people's homes, in their own familiar surroundings, which saves my clients travel time. You are also welcome to visit my practice.

How a treatment runs

01

A short talk first. We go through what is bothering you, what you have been doing over the past weeks and which muscle groups need attention. It takes a few minutes and it shapes the rest of the treatment.

02

The massage itself. Firm where it has to be, calm where it can be. I work layer by layer: first loosening the surface, then deeper into the places that are genuinely stuck.

03

Adjusting as we go. The pressure can always go up or down. A sports massage is meant to be firm, but never something you have to grit your teeth through.

04

Afterwards. You hear what I ran into and what you can do with it yourself: stretch, move, or take it easier for a day.

Who a sports massage is for

A sports massage is not only for athletes. The technique came out of sport, but the problem it solves — muscles that have worked too hard for too long — comes from everywhere.

  • Athletes training hard who want to recover faster between two sessions.
  • People with a desk job, where the neck, shoulders and lower back pick up the bill.
  • Anyone doing physical work that loads the same muscle groups day after day.
  • Anyone who notices that tension settles in and no longer leaves with rest alone.
