massage benefits....

Last weekend I got my 1st "professional" relaxation massage. Now I've had sports therapy deep tissue massages before which tend to be a bit rough. This was sooooo relaxing. However, I believe there's hidden benefits.
You read about the obvious health benefits possible from a good relaxation massage. As a competitive bodybuilder I belive that the benefits extend to actually making the muscle look better! It may be due to the movement and release of waste material from the muscle cells? When I was done I was SO vascular. Even the next day it seems I showed more detail and separation.
I'm considering making another appointment for a few days before my show. Any thoughts? comments? cautions?

my girl has a massage therapy business. lets just say the benefits are beautiful. i used to get an hour massage eod from her for free, but know she basically is like go rub your own back, lol.

i guess i will have to take somethings she loves away from her till we are back on the eod routine, lol.

i aree with you though, my recover time is literally cut in half when i was getting consistant massages. i highly recommend them. i would go my route though, don't pay 80 bucks per session, just date a massage therapist and constantly complain about your back problems, it worked for me.
