From Athletes to Amateurs – Massage Therapy Increases Effectiveness of Exercise, says Massage Envy

As health professionals continually learn more about the human body they are discovering that combining massage therapy with an exercise program will increase the benefits of any exercise.

Massage therapists at Massage Envy note that proper massage therapy will increase blood flow and create improved circulation throughout the body. Improved circulation causes an increase in oxygen being delivered to the muscles, which then results in increased endurance. The increase in oxygen also causes the muscles and body to expel toxins at a quicker rate and therefore reduces the time it takes the body to recover, also eliminating residual pain.

Massage therapists at the Massage Envy clinics in Dallas/Forth Worth have noticed a steady increase of athletes making appointments for massage therapy sessions. More and more athletes are including massage therapy as an integral aspect of their exercise regimens. 

“It heightens the results of an athlete’s exercise routine,” says C.G. Funk, Licensed Massage Therapist and Vice President of Industry Relations and Product Development for Massage Envy. “Anything that gets your blood flowing throughout the body is going to really add to an exercise routine.”

Massage therapy also greatly improves one’s range of motion and overall muscle and joint strength, which prevents injuries to the muscles, joints, and tendons. 

“You don’t have to be a professional football player,” says C.G. Funk of Massage Envy. “Massage therapy is going to enhance any level of exercise routine whether you’re getting paid to play or you’re just a casual walker.”

Any time new movements are introduced to the body, whether from exercise or natural action, stress and strain are introduced to muscles and joints which can cause stiffness and soreness. The integration of massage therapy sessions into a regular schedule will enhance the benefits of any exercise routine. Massage therapy will also help people maintain their health and general well-being. 

At Massage Envy, an introductory one-hour massage session (a 50-minute massage and time for consultation and dressing) is just $39. Memberships are available for $49 per month and include a one-hour massage session. Members may also enjoy unlimited additional one-hour massage sessions at the $39 member rate.
