Here is a tip from the Professionals.Twelve years ago at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, 7 out of 10 medical services demanded by athletes were massages.In 2007 the doctoral thesis intiteld Short-term effects of therapeutic massage after induced physical stress, written by Doctor Manuel Arroyo Morales, from the Department of Physiotherapy at the University of Granada, demonstrated that massage applied after exercise is especially useful to favour recovery of the muscles worked during exercise. Results of the study have confirmed indications that massage may reduce physiological stress response by slowing down the response of cortisol released after high intensity exercise. The Professional Training Studio has a full time massage therapist in the studio. Any competitive athlete or person at The Professional Training Studio who wants to recover faster and be able to train harder books a massage immediately after ALL there hard training sessions.
