Sports Massage to Help Your Running

So, as I prepare for my first 20 mile run, I feel it is a good time to make my first trip to a sports massage therapist. I have had a few massages, but those had been for relaxation given by a woman therapist with soothing music. This was different, and just what the doctor ordered. It is also a service that it more economical than the spa variety.

Here are the facts. In my case I went to see Bob at Southwest Sports Massage in Fort Worth. They change $50/hour or $25 for a half hour and they specialize in working with runners. They boast a number of hard core successful runners and marathoners as clients. They also work with many TCU athletes and other organized track teams. The first visit was $65, but there was plenty of education in the roughly 75 minute session.

My recommendation? It made me feel looser and lifted my spirit. It also gave me reassurance that I was on the right track and had no slightly hidden muscular issues. I would recommend that people getting serious about their running invest in a massage therapist. As for Southwest Sports massage, while I have no sports massage basis of comparison, I am a believer. I will return Monday after my 20 mile run for a 30 minute
