Massage For Athletes
It’s no secret that if you want your body to perform at it’s peak potential your muscles and the associated connective tissue which connects one structure to another must be unrestricted and capable of moving through their full range. While strength and flexibility are essential components the range-of-motion of those same muscles will greatly impact your performance. If you’re planning on running a marathon the number of steps you’ll need to take is significant: fewer steps (strides) = less energy spent. Increase your stride length by a few inches and you’ll reach the finish line with fewer steps and (possibly) in less time. Lengthening your hip flexors, hamstrings and quadriceps will result in a longer stride length. A professional sports massage therapist will also lengthen your gastrocnemius & soleus muscles as well as your ITB. Every year beginning in February we offer discounted prices on Marathon packages to help you get properly prepared and stay injury-free.
