The Body Shop Athlete Recovery Center

ATHLETES! Not all massage is created equal!
I know Swedish is nice and feels good but sometimes what you NEED is uncomfortable.
Sometimes you need years of experience with extensive knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics and technique.
Sometimes your friend who just bought a cupping set isn’t capable of preventing or treating an injury.
So, ask your MT questions. They should be doing ROM and muscle tests to identify actual problems, be able to explain a treatment plan, name target tissues (ACTUAL MUSCLES, not just “hamstring”) and why, and explain the modalities they’re using using and why.
MTs! Be honest with your clients. If you don’t want to spend countless hours reading research papers and attending CE classes specific to injury prevention/treatment, myology, anatomy, pathology, kinesiology, etc, it’s OKAY!
But when that injured athlete comes to you and you say you can help with general full-body Swedish massage, you are doing a disservice to that client and the profession as a whole.

It was fun to be back at a big competition this weekend. I have missed it. I got to hang out with friends and reconnect with some blasts from the past. When I see my athletes moving well and performing at their best, it makes what I do worth it.
Congrats to all who competed kalminski

One of the questions I get asked most often is “How often should I get a massage?”
You might Google it and find something like this pic…which is absolute nonsense.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. Here are a few things to discuss with your MT to determine your needs:
1. Activity level/fitness goals
2. Frequency/intensity of training/activity
3. Current/past injuries
4. Normal work/home lifestyle
5. Willingness to do recovery work on your own
6. Nutrition
7. Hydration
8. Sleep
Your frequency may change based on any of these factors. Are we treating an injury? Are we getting ready for a competition? Are you cruising in maintenance mode?

Did you know you don’t have to walk around in pain all the time? It’s not a required part of ANY sport. It doesn’t make you tougher, or manlier, or a more impressive athlete.
In fact, it hinders your athletic performance, limits your capabilities in and out of the gym and leads to long term muscular imbalances and compensatory movement patterns.
If you want to work on those imbalances you’ve already developed, treat the pain, reduce recovery time, prevent injury and improve your performance, let me know!
Appts available in Goldsboro Wednesdays and Fridays.
