How Massage and Personal Training Go Together

Many people think of massage as a luxurious way to relax and forget about the troubles of the world. While it is certainly that, massage is also a powerful tool for healing and rehabilitation. In fact, massage can be an integral part of an overall fitness program when paired with personal training.  
 

Athletic deep tissue massage helps loosen tight muscles, increase range of motion, and speed up recovery time. Personal trainers help their clients understand the importance of massage and how to use it to optimize their fitness goals. By working together, massage and personal training can help people reach their full potential.  
 

If you are looking to improve your athletic performance or simply want to feel your best, consider pairing massage with personal training. You may be surprised at how much this dynamic duo can help you achieve your goals! 
 

How Personal Training Affects Your Muscles 

No pain, no gain, right? When you train your body, you cause microscopic damage to your muscle fibers. In response to this damage, your body repairs the fibers and makes them stronger than they were before, this is how you build muscle.  

Although this process is natural, the repair process can take up to 48 hours, during which time your muscles will be sore and your range of motion may be limited. This is where massage comes in.  

Why Massage Therapy is Great for Recovery 

Massage helps to speed up the repair process by stimulating blood flow and breaking up adhesions (knots) that form in your muscles after exercise. Massage also helps to increase range of motion and flexibility, which can help you avoid injuries down the line.
