OILERMAN Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I'm thinking about signing up for some sports massages but don't know if they are really that beneficial? I have no real pains aside from overall soreness from working out and walking 15-20 miles a day. I've read they can actually cause problems in some cases. Is it worth it, anyone know?

pat Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 The foam roller is key but I can't see letting someone else get into my it band, it's too painful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenjami Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 For the past 2-3 years I have been getting a massage every 3-4 weeks. I have a regular girl who comes to my house with a table. She mainly does a combo Swedish/deep tissue massage but she's trained in sports massage and will also stretch me or work on specific minor injuries too if necessary. In the past she has had Chargers players as clients. I highly recommend it and if you can find a mobile masseuse who comes to your house, it's much cheaper than going to a spa and convenient time saver.

I think a day-a-week program of doing strenuous stretching and/or yoga would be more beneficial. It would stretch the muscles in their normal course of action helping to add flexibility to your normal muscle process. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disagreeing with that lol. He stated his concern with deep tissue massages so idk if it's worth it to him if he doesn't have any issues he is trying to get through.

Yoshimitsu Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I work with a runner that swears by the deep tissue stuff. She dreads it, but does it on a weekly basis. She runs Boston, Ragnarok, any marathon she can, etc. She also hits up the chiropractor on the regular as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
