sup guys

iv restarted preseason training for my epic soccar career, and since like 2nd session back my left thigh (hammy quad ) has been super f***ing stiff.

iv just stretched it out for literally 15 minutes and its right to train on, we have a trail match tomorrow night and iv been training hard and its stiff as a f***ing board. no amount of stretching is loosening it up. i can do the most painful stretch in the shower with the hot water on it and its not even loosening up

so

iv booked a deep tissue / sports massage for tomorrow. is this the right thing to be doing? team mates said it is, but not to let the masseur go full strength since i have to play on it a couple of hours after the massage. full strength they said = limp for a day or 2

any pros out there can help?

dont forget to ask for the happy ending, so you are totally relaxed for the big game

Yeah, at least. If they go full on, expect to be barely able to walk for at least the next day. The tighter your muscles are and lower your flexibility, the more it's going to hurt like a bitch.
To properly look after yourself you want to be getting that kind of stuff done pretty regularly - for me it's at least once a month.

In the meantime, get yourself a foam roller.

15 minutes of stretching won't do s***.

Where did you book?

I've been to http://www.ambiencebodytherapies.com.au/ @ Gregor Tce, Bardon.

Had the deep tissue one which was good.

Your probably after:

Sports Massage An invigorating massage designed specifically for those who exercise regularly, whether for fun or as a professional athlete.

i booked at results @ chandler (inside sleeman cause its niec and close and mates said it was good)

im not too bad flexibility wise, i can touch my toes bending over but it stings a tad, but it goes away pretty quick

but yeah i think i will just explain to her im playing and il go from there

cant wait for first game too!! last week got rained out, was so f***en devo'd

also got to watch the qld roar play our top team on tuesday night :) that was a treat!

I massage your mum's deep tissues.

i can touch my toes bending over but it stings a tad, but it goes away pretty quick

As in stingy tingling in your toes? Or muscle pain?

I know when I don't stretch legs for ages I get major nerve tingling at the start of the stretch. I know when I did Karate we'd do quads, groin/adductors (i.e. person lifts your leg out to the side), calves, gluteus and a some upper body ones for about 10 mins. Try the piriformis stretch too (stretches an ass muscle close to the sciatic nerve lol its good news).

beaten on the mum joke :(

Playing a few hours after a deep tissue massage?!?!?!

hahahahahahahaha

Good luck

yeh you cant play after deep tissue massage... it makes you tired..

not to sure who you are going with... but Ive had many masseuse but no one is strong enough... found this guy who abosulte awesome... he does AFL guys sometimes... but he is pain in the arse to get into... absolutely love them... i come back with massive purple bruises every from neck to my ankle :)

BTW you can do your own deep tissue massages by doing triggering massages... get a tennis ball and put it under the tight spot then put your weight on it... you can use other things as well or get a proper triggering device

hey kat go photograph yourself naked bitch i aint no bitch ass pussy nigga im EXISTENCE bitch and im tough as hell awwwww yeah

this is kinda why you don't want to go unco down sandhills..
