Benefits of Massage

•  Relaxation of the body and the mind
  • A moment away from training, the tension of everyday life, giving yourself the care you need
• Increase of blood flow
  • May speed recover of injured muscle
  • Increases the warmth of the muscle making it more responsive to stretch, releasing unwanted tension
• Recovery from fatigue
• Helps decrease muscle soreness
• Helps decrease muscle stiffness
• A time away to gather thoughts, whether it is about training, an upcoming race, or a different perspective on an entirely different subject
• Release of muscle from a massage therapist can give the body the trigger to "remember" what it feels like to relax and help retrain the body to move correctly, helping to prevent future injury or help repair an injury during rehabilitation with physical therapy.
