Recover Quicker From Your Workouts

Athletes have been incorporating massage into their workout & health regimes for decades. Why? Because it is a remarkable tool to assist in healing the damaged tissues from hard workouts.

When you work out hard, whether it’s weight training, cross-fit training, mountain biking, running & training for half marathons, you are pushing soft tissues & bones, to work past current limits, to establish new performance standards. This damages, in a microscopic fashion, the tissues that make up the ligament, tendons, muscles & bones of your body. Not to mention the toxins produced that need to be eliminated. These factors in any combination cause the soreness & sometimes pain that one feels the day after, sometimes for a few days after.

Massage is a Brilliant Tool

Massage boosts the body’s elimination of these toxins and the circulation of the healing blood & oxygen in your body to heal those micro-tears in the tissues.

I have clients who run half marathons relatively routinely (twice a year, maybe more, if time permits)and they consistently come to me the day of the event, typically 3 to 6 hours after they have completed their event and they feel fantastic the next day. No soreness what so ever.

Get better and quicker workout results…

Weight trainers and cross-fitters, trying to elevate their physical condition as a whole, with a goal in mind, you can get better results by working massage into your weekly routine, and see how you progress quicker. And feel fantastic!

We know about fitness, about athletes’ schedules & discipline, and we know the human body. Our goal is to facilitate ALL clients with their goals in health.

Call or Text and schedule your massage during your training, OR for post-event & see how fantastic you feel. It will become your habit.
