Massage Therapy Helps You Get the Most Out of Your Summer
As much as we enjoy the winter here in the Rockies, by the beginning of June we are craving sunny weather and embrace how the warmth of the sun and long daylight hours lift up our spirits. With a short summer and hopefully a nice fall ahead of us, we want to get the most out of every day.
Our mountain and road bikes get a tune up before we even hit the road or trails for the first time of the season. What about your body? If you listen to your body what does it tell you? Are your muscles still tight and achy from skiing and snowboarding but you are already on your bike? Implementing massage therapy into your summer program will help you achieve your goals in your favourite sport. Tight muscles are prone to injuries and only a fully lengthened muscle can be built up to its full strength.
A massage therapist looks at the body as a whole. When we prepare for mountain or road biking we think of the legs, but we have five points of contact. We use both arms for stabilizing, the glutes for balance, and our legs are the driving force. Massage therapy can help relieve you from discomfort between the shoulder blades, numbness in your hands towards the pinky finger, and release those tight hip flexors that can cause lower back pain.
If you are ready to enjoy your physical endurance and the speed of your bike with your best physical health, please give me a call to arrange for your massage appointment. I am now available for massage sessions in Banff and Lake Louise.
