I know massage feels good, but how can it help me physically?
Imagine a piece of salt water taffy. You can bend it, stretch it and twist it. It’s loose and flexible. Now, imagine a piece of frozen salt water taffy. Imagine trying to bend it or twist it. As people get older their muscles become more like frozen taffy. Regular massage keeps the muscles of your body feel like freshly-made salt water taffy.
It’s a fact that tight muscles can’t function properly. It’s impossible for athletes at any level to achieve the best results. Regular massage can help athletes prepare for and recover from, strenuous workouts by increasing the flow of oxygen-rich blood to tired muscles. It helps them restore their natural well being more quickly.
