Best Training Times to Get Sports Massage

Timing Your Runner’s Massage for Maximum Performance

To get the most out of your sports massage sessions, it’s essential to schedule them strategically throughout your training cycle:

• Initial Training Stage (First 2-3 Weeks): Kickstart your training with a massage to eliminate imbalances and knots, allowing you to maximize your initial gains, while reducing your likelihood of injury.
• High Mileage Days: Once your mileage exceeds 15 to 18 miles per run, you’re at a higher risk of developing aches and injuries. A sports massage once a week or once every two weeks during this stage enhances recovery and prevents potential injuries.
• Tapering Week: In the final week leading up to your race, get a sports massage to ensure your body is optimized for peak performance.

Incorporating regular Runner’s Massage in NYC into your training regimen not only optimizes performance but also helps maintain your body’s readiness throughout the marathon season.

Understanding the Running Muscles in Action

Running Muscles in Action: The Essential Muscles for Peak Performance

For peak performance, runners must address the unique demands on their muscles. In distance running, every step involves a symphony of muscle activation:

• Tibialis Anterior (Shins) for foot lift and Gastrocnemius (Calves) for push-off.
• Quadriceps (Thighs) to extend the knee and Glutes to extend the hip, propelling the body forward.
• Hamstrings and Hip Flexors prepare for the swing phase.
• The Obliques stabilize the core, while the Deltoids (Shoulders), Biceps, and Triceps maintain rhythm and counterbalance the leg movements, enhancing efficiency.

Understanding how these muscles work is the cornerstone of maximizing your running potential—whether you're gearing up for a marathon, a 5K, or a triathlon. By honing in on the specific muscle groups involved, our specialized Runner’s Massage not only targets and relieves tension but also optimizes your performance and accelerates recovery, keeping you strong and injury-free through every race.

Our Running Injury Massage NYC targets these critical areas, offering relief from common runner ailments like shin splints or tight hamstrings, ensuring you’re always race-ready.
