Anyone who routinely stretches their physical limits through training or other physical
activities will benefit from a massage. Massage helps you recover faster from intense
training, and reduces conditions which may cause injury. Heavily exercised muscles can
lose their capacity to relax, causing chronically tight (hypertonic) muscles, and loss of
