Experience firsthand why recover is so important - enjoy our plethora of recovery techniques to restore your body and prepare you for the next day. Let our certified massage therapists help you relax and loosen tight muscles. You receive two private restorative massages during the week and receive your choice of method: deep tissue, Swedish, Thai, sports or combination. You will enjoy learning how to provide similar restorative benefits without the expense or time spent on a masseuse through instruction in foam-rolling (self-myofascial release) and stretching techniques to relieve soreness today and in the future. Through this educational experience, you can control the way your body responds to difficult physical activity, whether it is a hard workout or a long day at your desk.
Try this simple example to see how you can relieve tension on your own:
Fascia is the connective tissue layer surrounding muscles and bones. Trigger points exist within the fascia, which are dense areas sensitive to palpation. They are thought to be correlated with injury and may be reduced through proper self-myofascial release techniques.
Adductor (inner-thigh) Release
- Lay on your stomach with your forearms touching the floor
- Keeping your left leg straight, extend your right thigh and place a foam roller in the groin region
- Move the thigh so the roller moves back and forth over the abductor region
- Stop at any tender point, and rest on the foam roller until the pain decreases significantly
Hamstring (back of thigh) Release
- Sit on floor with back and legs straight
- Place the roller under the hamstring with your hips floating in the air unsupported
- Roll the foam roller from the knee up to the lower hip using your arms for momentum
- Stop at any tender point, and rest on the foam roller until the pain decreases significantly
Hamstring (back of thigh) Release
- Lay on your stomach with your forearms touching the floor
- Pull your core tight, and place a foam roller underneath the front of the thigh
- Using your arms for momentum, roll back and forth
- Stop at any tender point, and rest on the foam roller until the pain decreases significantly
