What is Sports Massage?
Sports massage is a systematic manipulation of the soft tissues of the body that focuses on muscles relevant to a particular sport. Runner Paavo Nurmi, known as the "Flying Finn," was one of the early users of sports massage. Nurmi is said to have used sports massage during the 1924 Olympics in Paris where he won five gold medals. In the United States, Jack Meagher is thought to be the father of sports massage in the United States.
Many different movements and techniques are used in sports massage. Examples of these techniques include; Swedish style massage, effleurage (stroking), petrissage (kneading), compression, friction, tapotement (rhythmic striking), vibration, gliding, stretching, percussion and trigger points. These movements and techniques are used to try to help the athlete's body achieve maximum performance and physical conditioning with a decreased chance of injury or pain and a quicker recovery.
What are the Benefits of Sports Massage?
Many benefits from sports massage have been reported based on experience and observation. Some of the benefits are to the mind (psychological) and some are to the body (physiological). Possible side effects of sports massage are tenderness or stiffness for 1 to 2 days after the sports massage. Some of the reported benefits include:
• Increased blood flow
• Increased joint range of motion (ROM)
• Increased flexibility
• Increased elimination of exercise waste products (lactic acid)
• Increased sense of well-being
• Decreased muscle tension
• Decreased neurological excitability (nerves more relaxed)
• Decreased chance of injury
• Decreased recovery time between workouts
• Decreased muscle spasms
Stop complaining about your sore body after a match..
Stop blaming your sore body on that loss....
Call Sharon or Jim. Each will come to your home and get you ready for your next match.

33 degree uphill run
Happy New Year.
The year is young and my tournament season starts in March. Houston Texas.
Four issues kept me out of competition in the last few years.
Major Surgery.
Neck.
Hip.
Heel.
Surgery was age related. Aging SUCKS. Ok, not for me so much...
Neck...woke up one morning with a crick. That just got worse.
Hip...ummm..ahhh..hmmm. You get the idea.
Seriously, I chased a wide forehand and ended up in a Kim Cljisters split. Killed my hip.
Heel....hiking in Ricketts Glen, I slipped on a wet "step".
I miss the competition.
I miss the friendships.
I miss travel.
Not sure if I am going to like the TSA pat down.
I am soo far down on the ranking computer that if you Googled me, I won't be found, the number is so high.
My neck issue would only allow me to play 3 matches.
I need to win 7 matches to win a tournament.
So, I did not enter any.
Why bother?
"Also ran" is not as fun as "Yorke Wins"
Today, I started my climb back to the top with a nice run up Shurs Lane from Main Street to Ridge Avenue.
No music. Odd for me to run without my iPod blasting something for step cadence.
I can do this. Sans music.
The grade seemed easy to me today. Even at 33 degrees and running into the wind.
I might have to switch to "The Wall". Leverington from under the L to Pechin. That would be a hellish run. I have done it on rollerblades back in 1995. HELL. And I was younger then.
I will run Shurs Lane again tomorrow after all my lessons today and see how "easy" it really is.
If you want to join me. Every morning, I will make this run.
Text me or email me that you are joining me. Starting at the light at Shurs(Mad River) and Main Street.
Come give your on court leg and lung endurance a boost.
Get on my court to up your stroke endurance.
Have an awesome day. On and off court...
