Having Beth work on me regularly has changed how I think of massage. I used to think of massage as an indulgent luxury that was what you shelled out for when you really need to relax. It is certainly relaxing, but now I think of it as an integral part of my recovery program. I am fortunate enough to be able to have Beth work on me at least a couple times a month, and it has dramatically leveled up my workout recovery. I build it into my workout program for the week and do the workout for the week that will generate the most DOMS the day of or day before getting worked on. It took me a while to fully appreciate what a difference it makes. Eventually, I noticed that I wasn’t beat up on a weekly basis. I still get sore, but it is not nearly as debilitating and lingering as it used to be. If I miss a month, I can definitely feel it. I try not to miss a month. Budget the time and money for 2-4 massages a month, try it for a quarter, and see how you feel. You won’t be disappointed.
