You can trust the hands pro athletes have trusted for >24 years. Sports Recovery at its best.

I have been certified in Massage Therapy, with Specialization in Sports Massage for over a decade and am regarded as one of the best, most qualified massage therapists in the state of Florida. Only 6 months into my massage therapy career, I was hired as an Independant Contractor by the New York Yankees for Spring Training and have worked with them every year since. In addition, when any injured players are sent in town for rehabilitation after injury or surgery, the team will have me come in to work as part of the Rehablitation Team. Aside from the New York Yankees, I have numbers of current and former professional football, baseball and other athletes that are absolutely loyal to me and swear by my services. I have worked with athletes in all aspects of treatment; maintenance, injury, and rehabilitation. All treatment is designed to the specific needs of the individual athlete. Reduction of pain, helping my clients achieve their goals by increasing optimal performance and eliminating any soft tissue restrictions/injuries are my primary goals.

Announcement

First of all — THANK YOU! 🙏
Your support this year has meant the world to me. I couldn’t have come this far without you.

When I introduced the Israel edition of The KnotDoctor News, I opened it to everyone who had ever been a patient, as my way of giving back.

Now it’s time to take the next step. One of the true benefits of remaining an active patient is continued access to my knowledge, updates, and insights. Starting January 2026, the monthly KnotDoctor Patient Newsletter will be sent exclusively to ⚠️ ACTIVE PATIENTS ⚠️.

I’m grateful for every one of you who has been part of this journey, and I look forward to continuing to share tools, tips, and guidance with those I have the privilege of treating.

🚨Sub-10 Ironman Alert!🚨

It’s rare to come across an athlete like Roy Assor not because he trains hard. He does. But because he does the homework. Religiously. That’s how PRs are made.

9:59:02. That’s what he just threw down. 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

That’s not just a time, that’s multiple years of relentless work, brutal training, upgrading his recovery and doing the ever adjusting homework .

Roy didnt break 10 hours at Ironman just because he trained harder. He did. But he trained smarter as well.

He was already grinding hard. Already committed.
Already 💯 all-in.

What changed ?

Recovery.

I’ve worked with him for 4 years and watched him achieve some PRs but this was the big one.

How did we do it ?

🔍 focused manual therapy
🤖 precision massage
🗺️ strategic treatment
📈 personalized care

Not just to heal but to optimize his performance. To help the muscles grow. To help them produce more speed for longer distances. And, by doing this increase maximum power output.

Here’s what it lookedikenon race day;

💥 01:16 swim
💥 4:57 bike
💥 3:35 run

🧠 Training + Recovery = PR BUSTING

Training builds your power.
Recovery releases it.

I could not have been prouder, Roy, to have been part of this journey to greatness.

You earned every second of that PR.

Let this be a reminder to every athlete chasing something big:

🛑 Stop ignoring recovery.

✅ Start training like performance depends on it.

🚨 Because it does.

“No Offseason for Recovery”

For athletes like triathletes, CrossFitters, runners, and weightlifters, recovery isn’t optional—it’s essential. 🏊‍♂️🏋️‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Consistent recovery therapy helps prevent fatigue, injury, and chronic pain, keeping you at peak performance all year.

Try these recovery tips at home:
1️⃣ Foam roll tight areas for 10–15 minutes.
2️⃣ Stretch to maintain flexibility and prevent stiffness.
3️⃣ Stay hydrated and fuel your body with protein and omega-3s.

Recovery is training. Take care of your body, and it will take care of you! 💪

Is Your Massage Therapist Really Meeting Your Needs?

Before your next session, ask yourself these 3 important questions:

1. Are they just going through the motions, or are they treating the root of my pain?

2. Do they have the advanced knowledge to handle athletic, chronic, or complex muscular issues?

3. Am I seeing real, lasting results—or just temporary relief?

If you hesitated or answered “no” to any of these, it’s time for an upgrade.

At The KnotDoctor ATC, I don’t do “fluff”. I combine 20+ years of experience, elite-level training, and advanced soft tissue therapies to actually fix what’s wrong—not just make you feel better for a few hours. From pro athletes to weekend warriors, my clients trust me to get results that last.

Pain is optional.
Settling is too.
Let’s raise the bar for what massage therapy should do for you and your performance.

Lifting Weights? Don’t Ignore Tendinitis—Here’s Why! 💪🔥

Athletes, listen up! Tendinitis (aka overuse inflammation) is your body’s way of waving a red flag 🚩 .

Ignoring it?

Bad move. 😣

Here’s what’s at stake:

🚨 The Drawbacks of Ignoring Tendinitis:

❌ Chronic Weakness – Repeated stress without recovery leads to tissue breakdown, making you weaker instead of stronger.

❌ Compensatory Injuries – When one area hurts, your body shifts the load elsewhere—leading to even bigger problems.

❌ Longer Recovery Time – What could’ve been a minor fix now sidelines you for weeks (or months!).

✅ The Gains of Addressing It Early:

↗️ Stronger, Resilient Joints – Smart rehab and proper care help build durability for long-term gains.

↗️ Better Performance – Pain-free movement means better lifts, stronger reps, and peak output.

↗️ Faster Recovery & Longevity – Treat it now, train for life. The best athletes stay in the game by listening to their bodies.

Don’t push through pain—train smarter, not just harder. If tendinitis is creeping in, recovery strategies like targeted manual therapy, mobility work, and load management can keep you strong and injury-free.

Are You Training for an Ironman or Triathlon Without Massage? 🚨🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

If you’re logging endless miles but skipping recovery, you’re setting yourself up for avoidable setbacks. Here’s what happens when you neglect regular treatment:

💥 Muscle Fatigue & Breakdown – Repetitive strain leads to tightness, micro-tears, and inefficient movement patterns.
💥 Injury Risk Skyrockets – Overuse injuries (IT band syndrome, Achilles tendinitis, rotator cuff issues) become almost inevitable.
💥 Decreased Performance – Tight, overworked muscles limit power output, endurance, and flexibility.
💥 Slower Recovery – Without proper circulation and tissue repair, fatigue lingers, making training harder than it needs to be.

Regular treatment with The KnotDoctor keeps you strong, mobile, and primed for peak performance. Don’t let preventable issues derail your training—invest in recovery just like you invest in your bikes or running shoes.

Train smarter.
Recover better.
Perform stronger.
💪🔧

🏃‍♂️🚨 3 Weeks to Marathon Day: Recovery is Key! 🚨🏃‍♀️

With just three weeks left until your marathon, it’s time to focus on more than just miles. At this stage, recovery becomes your secret weapon to crossing the finish line strong and injury-free! 💪 Here’s what your recovery plan should look like now:

💤 Prioritize Sleep 💤

Your body repairs itself during deep sleep. Aim for at least 7-9 hours each night to support muscle recovery and improve performance.

💧 Stay Hydrated 💧

Hydration impacts everything from energy levels to joint health. Stay on top of your water intake—your muscles will thank you!

🧘‍♂️ Incorporate Stretching & Mobility Work 🧘‍♀️

Keep your joints and muscles loose with dynamic stretches and foam rolling. This will prevent stiffness and optimize your running form.

🏋️‍♀️ Dial Back the Intensity

Your taper has likely begun, which means shorter, less intense runs. Focus on quality over quantity, and resist the temptation to overtrain.

⛑️ Massage Therapy for Optimal Recovery first aid ⛑️

Now is the perfect time to integrate massage therapy into your routine. Deep tissue massage and trigger point therapy can help by:
🔹Reducing muscle soreness
🔹Improving circulation to speed up healing
🔹Releasing tension and preventing tightness in key areas like the calves, hamstrings, and lower back

Regular sessions between now and race day will keep your muscles feeling fresh, prevent overuse injuries, and set you up for peak performance on race day!

💡 Pro Tip: Schedule your last deep tissue massage no later than 5-7 days before the race to allow time for full recovery. 💡

🎯 You’ve put in the work—now let your recovery take you the rest of the way! If you’re looking for personalized recovery support, book your next massage therapy session with The KnotDoctor and finish strong! 🏁

Recovery After Your Half/Full Ironman

🏁 You did it! You crossed the finish line! 🏅 Whether it was a half or full Ironman, the physical and mental grind was monumental. But now that the race is over, the journey isn’t. Recovery is just as important as the race itself.

Here’s why and how to bounce back stronger:

🔧 Why Recovery Matters:
Your muscles, tendons, and nervous system have been pushed to the limit. Without proper recovery, you risk prolonged soreness, injury, and delayed performance improvements.

🛠 Key Recovery Tips:
1. Rest Smart: Prioritize sleep and active recovery. Low-intensity walks, swims, or bike rides keep blood flowing without taxing your body.
2. Fuel & Rehydrate: Replace lost electrolytes and focus on anti-inflammatory foods like lean protein, fruits, and veggies.
3. Massage Therapy: This is a game-changer for muscle recovery. Techniques like Trigger Point Therapy and PNF stretching help reduce tightness and improve mobility.
4. Compression & Ice Therapy: Reduce inflammation and boost circulation to speed up muscle repair.
5. Mental Recovery: Give yourself time to reflect and recharge mentally. A race of this magnitude takes a toll on your focus and emotional energy.

Remember, recovery isn’t a luxury; it’s essential to rebuild your body and take your performance to the next level. Need guidance on structured recovery therapy? Reach out!

🏊‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Recover right. Race better next time.
