My SPECIALTY is “On the Edge” Deep Tissue Massage. I work on a scale of 1 – 10, where 7 is on the edge and 10 is very excruciating pain.

When you do resistance training repeatedly and consistently, your muscles become stronger.

The sports recovery process is vital to restore physiological and psychological functions to an athlete after both training and competition days. For those athletes that compete in a regular sport, generally on a weekly basis, it is particularly important that they take their recovery seriously.
The recovery process is necessary to help minimize the risk of fatigue and maximize the speed of recovery between competition days.
As more and more elite sports persons gain a higher demand and a strong desire to gain an edge over the opposition, it becomes more important that effective recovery strategies become of high priority in sporting teams.
