Massage
Recovery starts at the finish line.
Over a period of five years, Holger Röbke – trading as mein masseur – accompanied the competing members of the Volkswagen R trail running team as massage therapist during international races organized by PLAN B. Now, since 2025, Holger is making massage treatment available to all runners participating in a race, by means of setting up his own tent and massage table in the finishing area of selected mountain race events in the Alpine region.
Holger lives and works as commercial masseur and as medical masseur in Innsbruck. The passion for mountain running that he shares with his clients, interrelated with many hours of experience in understanding on-site physical necessities and treatment, has enabled him to acquire competent knowledge regarding the importance of the fastest possible recovery following a strenuous race.
On each of the four race days of the LOWA Trail Trophy, mein masseur will be awaiting you in the finish area to provide you with personalized support meeting your needs. Simply follow the signs! Treatment slots of 25 minutes each, every half hour, can be reserved daily from 11:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Due to limited availability, we recommend booking your massage appointments in advance. This way, you can choose your preferred time and save time on-site.
