Get a Massage

In the last 50 years, injuries related to lack of flexibility have been on the upswing. Jobs have moved away from manual labor while more and more of us are sitting for long periods of time, both at work and at home. More sitting means stiffer joints and more lactic acid build up in your muscle tissue. While a good stretch will help, getting a massage can work wonders.

Using massage after a workout not only feels good but helps increase fluid circulation; delivering fresh blood and oxygen. Massage helps to relax muscles and speed up recovery after a workout or injury. Massage, in combination with daily stretching, is a sure fire way to become more flexible and less likely to get hurt.
