Hey folks,

I've been thinking about getting a massage in the next couple days/weeks. I've been working about 10 hour days 6 days a week now and its starting to take its toll.

My workouts are going well, but I find myself waking up tense.

So, what are everyone's thoughts on a massage to increase bloodflow, relax muscles, and kinda reset my body?

Dave (is concerned it might actually harm my workout performance though, any merit?)

Massages are great, my ex-gf is a massage therapist. $90 seems way too high to me, but maybe it's a regional thing. The going price in Colorado, if you just go to a chiropractor's office or whatever, is $50-$60 (and check with your insurance, some will pick it up). If you go to like a spa or a ski resort, you might end up paying $90. Also, I would recommend a swedish deep-tissue (neuromuscular) massage over a 'sports' massage, which is often just a floofy once-over.

Oh yeah, massage therapists always appreciate a tip. :)

It is a good idea.
