Since massage increases circulation, it helps the elimination of toxins and other metabolic waste. Additonaly, massage therapy reduces the time it takes the body to heal a injury.
One of my regular clients came in due to a small injury while in a personal training session. She had extended her shoulder which caused trauma in that area. After a few sessions of deep tissue massage. I was able to break down connective tissue in her shoulder. I increased the circulation, which helped with her pain and range of motion. The massage loosen the joint that was too tight. This all naturally promotes the healing process.
For those of you that are dedicated to your training, receiving regular massage therapy can enhance your performance and reduce your risk for injury.
