Have you ever wondered why deep tissue massage works so well to reduce or remove tension in your muscles? It's the intuitive nature of your massage practitioner plus their skill to attend to your body that is specific to you; call it "custom body work" if you will. Every session has a specialized kind of improvement as you attend your sessions weekly or monthly(not annually).
I'm always amazed at the greater sense of well being after I receive a massage session IF one or more of these pillars of health were already in place:
1) Consistent hydration practices
2) Consistent sleep cycles
3) Consistent mobility training
4) Consistent self massage techniques
These four pillars applied consistently has proven to gather rewards, namely greater sports performance and vitality of health. The key word here is consistency. Life can get in the way of all good intentions to be consistent. To simplify, I recommend picking 1-2 things to be consistent with and THEN build from there.
I have found that self massage tools might be the most overlooked and under appreciated techniques that WILL boost your energy with very little time invested. Here's the bonus: you and your massage practitioner will have greater healing powers as a team. Your muscles will release sooner and the benefits between sessions will last longer. Here's the kicker: Less than 10 minutes per day on a rotating schedule for different regions of the body. How about doing that 10 minutes only 3 times per week?
Bottom line: Think of massage as performance therapy not injury rehabilitation.
I am classifying the Trigger Point Performance Therapy tools as a "Secret Weapon" for optimal performance and health. The inherent therapeutic traits of the product have a proven track record with world class champions and professional athletes. I want to emphasize that each Trigger Point Performance Therapy tool ranks with the same, simple significance as your toothbrush. You use them daily!
