Its About Football

O.k. guys, whose your favorite football player? What about your favorite football team?

While watching all your favorite games this holiday season contemplate this-Your favorite football players all had a massage before the game. And, they will have a massage after the game. Plus, while rehabilitating from an injury they will be ordered to see a massage therapist.

However, understand they are NOT lying around in the locker room with cucumbers covering their eyes while they get a relaxing herbal body wrap. Instead licensed therapists are working to prepare each athletes body to function at its best during the game and helping in the cool down process after. Massage therapists also look for possible injuries after the game as well as potential soft tissue problems that could cause injuries in the future.

Therefore guys, take the hint. Even if you are not a professional football player you may be running,, playing tennis, racquetball or golfing on the weekend. You may be working in a warehouse, construction or otherwise doing heavy lifting or strenuous work. Or, you may be sitting at a computer all day in one position with your neck and back killing you. No matter what you are doing you don’t have to put up with muscular pain or stiffness. Get a deep tissue massage to work out the kinks so you will be able to feel and do your best.

"Weight Loss and Bodywork"1

Massage-anything this good must be fattening, right? Wrong! Scientists now confirm what massage therapists have always known: massage can be a powerful and effective weight-loss tool. By improving your bodies resilience, adding muscle nutrition and flexibility, and supporting your mental and emotional well-being, massage can take your weight-loss plan to a whole new level.1

Ways massage can help your weight-loss program:

• Injury prevention and better healing and restoration.
• Improving blood and lymphatic fluid circulation.
• Taking the parasympathetic nervous system to a state of deep restorative relaxation.
• Shortening recovery time between workouts thus reducing soreness and stiffness.

I personally can attest to the above information. Besides working as a massage therapist I garden and run ten or more miles each week. If I don;t get a weekly massage I can't function.

So, if you are planning to try a wight -lose program it would benefit you to consider massage at least once a month. And, don't be shy! No matter how much weight you have gained or how you think you look, massage therapists are concerned about treating the person and are unconcerned about their clients weight or how the client thinks they look. Massage therapists and bodyworkers only concern is your well-being.
