The History, Science and How-To of Visualization       “I think the term visualization is actually a bit of a misnomer. A better term is multi-sensory imagination or mental rehearsal.”—Logan Christopher for Breaking Muscle

Coming Soon!!: Melissa B. is a Licensed Massage Therapist and she’ll be working in the gym!  If you’ve ever had a massage you understand how amazing it feels (if you haven’t you have no idea what you’re missing!) and how well it helps speed up your recovery.  Imagine working out then getting a massage!  Now you’ll have that opportunity. Perhaps even better, a massage on your rest day!  Just in case you need further convincing check this out:

 

“The deep-tissue massage increased the size and number of new mitochondria more than exercising without massage. Increasing mitochondria can improve endurance performance by increasing the rate that muscles can utilize oxygen. “—Elizabeth Quinn, Does Sports Massage Improve Performance or Recovery

 

and:

 

“The pressure of massage may also improve blood flow during the massage and increase muscle temperature. Massage reduces heart rate, blood pressure and cortisol levels. Most people report a feeling of pure relaxation, reduced anxiety, and improved mood as a result. Athletes may indeed find an edge in these psychological benefits.“—Elizabeth Quinn, Does Sports Massage Improve Performance or Recovery

 

A 2010 study in the journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that even a 30-second massage improved hip-flexor range of motion. Another study conducted by Margaret Jones, Ph.D. of the American College of Sports Medicine, demonstrated a notable trend toward decreased muscle soreness in the athletes who received massage either before or after exercise.—-Massage Envy
