Running & Rub Downs

There are a good 4 months from the spring thru the summer when I get many calls from runners or those training for marathons or triathlons. Massage is an incredible tool for those training for any athletic event. A real athlete spends a lot of time training, strengthening, stretching and preparing. This is pretty intense work. Massage is an excellent way to facilitate you staying with your training schedule.

If you overwork yourself one day, I can go in there and help repair the related muscle tissue and prepare them to getting back to work. Along those lines, I can also help reduce tightness and discomfort related to an already injured muscle group that is being exacerbated from the training. If an athlete is doing well and not having any problems, massage can work as a preventative measure. Massage will keep your muscles loose, speed up your recovery after training sessions, and help to flush out the built up metabolic waste as well deliver more oxygen and nutrients to your tired muscles.

I cannot stress the importance of massage during any atheletes career; whether it be a constant sport or training for a specific personal event.
