tes the movement of toxins from the muscles and helps stretch tight or twisted muscle mass, deep-tissue massage can help promote healing. Because massage also helps relax muscles, it can reduce the pain caused by injuries, too. Deep-tissue massage is frequently used to rehabilitate sports injuries. It is very good choice for runners as it targets tight spots and is beneficial for those after hard bouts of training or a few days after a race. Swedish Body Massage often utilizes long strokes it is also beneficial to athletes before a big competition or as a recovery tool as the lighter strokes help relieve stress and muscle tension without damaging muscles. It is also very beneficial for those wanting a pamper session, to relieve stress and relax. Receiving a hot and cold stone massage can be equally beneficial
In addition, massaging and alternating the hot and cool stones helps every cell in the body to receive more oxygen and nutrients and moves lymph thereby encouraging a more effective removal of toxins. The opening and closing of the blood vessels causes a pumping action within the circulatory system which brings in more blood to the lungs and heart.

πŸ™Œ Thank you so much to Elaine for getting me through my marathon training block.

πŸ™Œ Well done Jodie
πŸ™Œ maintenance massage can be a simple but effective tool for ultra runners dealing with constant training stress.

πŸ™Œ Reduces muscle tightness: Long miles create tension and micro-damage; massage helps loosen tight areas before they turn into injuries.
πŸ™ŒImproves circulation: Better blood flow supports recovery and clears waste products that contribute to soreness.
πŸ™ŒAddresses β€œniggles” early: Small aches (like calf tightness or IT band irritation) can be managed before they escalate.
*πŸ™ŒMaintains mobility: Keeps muscles and fascia supple, helping you move efficiently over long distances.
πŸ™ŒPromotes relaxation: Lowers overall fatigue and helps the nervous system recover from heavy training loads.

βœ”οΈ Building confidence

πŸ™ŒSimple truth:
You don’t get fitter in the final week you get fresher.

βœ”οΈ Builds confidence
You go into race day feeling prepared, relaxed, and ready to perform.

Why 3–4 days before?
It gives your body enough time to respond to the treatment so you get the benefits without any lingering soreness.
