All week I’ve been tight. My glutes. My shoulders. My neck. I schedule a massage which I usually do about once a month. And now I can move again.
The difference is so noticeable it’s difficult to describe. All of my muscles have released their tension. My range of motion has returned to normal. I can turn my head again. The knots in my shoulders are lessened. And my squat is back.
I’m no massage therapist, but I can attest to the power of increased blood flow to your muscles and how stretching them the right way releases an incredible amount of tension.
If you’re a CrossFitter and you’re not getting massages regularly, I would suggest you give it a try. I’m talking deep tissue massage here, not fluff. You will be amazed at how much better you feel, how your range of motion is increased, and how you’re back to your A game. It’s so much more effective I believe than rolling out (not that you shouldn’t do that) but if you want better results, book a massage today!
