THE COMPLETE WORKOUT
Why are so many sports and fitness enthusiasts including regular
therapeutic massage as part of their conditioning programs?
There is a growing awareness that a complete workout routine
includes not only the exercise itself, but also caring for the
wear-and-tear and minor injuries that naturally occur with strenuous
movement. The physiological benefits of massage make it an ideal
compliment to a total conditioning program.
Who can benefit from regular massage?
Anyone who routinely stretches their physical limits through
movement such as running, cycling, hiking, swimming, dancing
tennis and other racquet sports, strength training and aerobics.
In fact, anyone who experiences regular physical stress like mothers
with small children, gardeners, or those who use their bodies
strenuously in their work will find relief with therapeutic massage.
Massage is beneficial when starting a conditioning program,
because it helps you get into good shape faster,
and with less stiffness and soreness. It helps you recover
faster from heavy workouts, and relieves conditions which
may cause injury. Massage can be something to look forward to
after a workout - a healthy reward.
