As athletes, former athletes, and relatives of athletes we know all too well the demanding nature of working out, sports, and for that matter life itself. Our bodies get beat up, injured, and more. Then on other days we are just not at our best. We also know the best thing for our bodies is rest and recovery. There are many ways to do this starting with a good night’s sleep and proper nutrition. However, there are many more things we can do to help ourselves perform better of just feel better in general.
One such place that can help you with this is Elite Massage Therapy and Spa. They currently just moved to a different location and have expanded their services. The quality of people that work there are second to none as well.
First off, this Spa will offer all the basics that most massage places do and at a very reasonable price. They have 30, 60, or 90 minute massages. They even have hot stone and warm bamboo massages. As for the athletes they offer specialized sports massages and cupping to help heal the body much faster. Swedish massages and deep tissue massages can also help speed up the recovery process for any of us.
What massages do for our bodies is to help the healing process by encouraging circulatory movement and relaxing muscles, massage helps the body pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs. By getting a massage this allows for the rehabilitating injured areas to become more flexible and heal at a faster rate. I personally get massages and all I do is lift and the benefits are fantastic.
Other benefits are increasing flexibility – sports massage can help to relax your muscles and is known to help increase your flexibility. A good sports massage before a competition can also help to improve your performance. You can even be more relaxed, focused, and clearer minded – massages bring calming, restorative, and clearing effects to your mind. When your brain is able to sort through the clutter, you’ll find it easier to stay focused. Lastly, a massage can help reduces pain – by increasing blood flow from a massage it helps reduce the inflammation that causes pain and can also help lift off muscle tension that is often a result of chronic pain by loosening the tight muscles.
They have a dedicated room just for sports recovery and even offer a $10 discount for anyone with a student ID.
Are you recovering from surgery? They have a Graston tool. What does a Graston tool do? The Graston Technique uses unique handheld instruments with a specialized form of massage that is designed to help the practitioner identify areas of restriction and break up the scar tissue.
If that isn’t enough they have Emsculpt too. Does Emsculpt actually work and what results will people see after Emsculpt? Expect to see a toned, leaner area with notably less fat after Emsculpt. “Studies show a 15 to 20 percent muscle growth and fat reduction in the area after treatment regimen,” Dr. Frank says.

Improve wound healing.
Reduce stretch marks.

There are a long list of services Elite Massage Therapy and Spa does to help make our bodies feel and perform better. This is the only body you have. Upkeep is essential.
