Athletic Injury Prevention
Most athletic injuries are caused by over use or under stretching by an athlete.  Whether you are running for pleasure in your neighborhood, or training for an IronMan Triathlon, it is easy to push yourself past your limits by accident. While nothing can prevent falls and accidents, a healthy body will recover faster from the various sprains, strains, and overuse injuries that often occur.

Why massage?
The biggest asset that massage therapy can give an athlete is a reduced post workout recovery time.  Pushing your limits to shave a few seconds off your run will tire the body.  Massage helps you bounce back by assisting the body in the recovery process.  Massage can break down adhesions and scar tissue through manipulation of the muscles, and lessen the ache of lactic acid buildup by flushing the area with blood.  Healthy muscles benefit, too, with increased oxygen and nutrient delivery.
