• Post event massage relieves pain, prevents stiffness and returns the muscles to their normal state.
  
  
• Massage therapy also increases the flow of blood and oxygen to the affected tight muscles which nourishes the muscle to relax, loosen up, relieve pain and increase your range of motion. It also increases lymphatic flow assisting the body in its elimination of waste products.

How Massage Benefits Performers & Athletes:

• Massage therapy is the manipulation of the superficial tissue of the body. All performers have experienced muscle tightening and muscle fatigue as a result of maximum effort or prolonged over activity. As performers this is inevitable, but not unalterable.
  
  
• Massage prior to a performance or athletic event; loosens, warms and readies the muscle for intensive use, especially when combined with stretching.
