During one of my trail training runs, I pulled my right calf muscle and could barely walk back to my car. I googled and found Pro Fitness Network. I made an appointment with Gary. He gave me a myofascial/deep tissue massage. He explained to me what he does and why, this treatment reduces muscle spasm, combats inflammation and promotes relaxation. He also did some trigger point therapy that focuses on the injured muscle fibers. I had a total of 4 or 5 sessions with him and within a couple of weeks I was back out running.
A few weeks later back out in the San Gabriel Mtn doing some trail work, I pulled my hamstring. It was so painful, I was sure I could hear the muscle fibers tear apart. This time I got scheduled with Margie. She healed my hamstring and I was happily back running. She told me to take Epson bath after long runs.
Lately, I decided to go back to work after early retirement and I've been dealing with some back pain, as I sit in an office chair for over 8 hours a day. I called and got scheduled with Gaby. She hit all the right notes with my lower back and provided relief in ways I never experienced. She made me drink a lot more water because when your massage therapist releases a knot in the muscle, pockets of lactic acid are released, and drinking water helps flush the lactic acid out more efficiently.
