PILATES

Why Massage Is the Perfect Complement to Pilates Workouts

When you have sore, aching muscles, it can be difficult to motivate yourself to work out the next day. This is especially true when it comes to pilates, as targeting core muscles tends to leave the average person with a more in-depth soreness compared to regular strength and cardio endurance training.

By adding massage therapy to your weekly pilates routine, you can decrease the amount of soreness you’ll have to endure the next day. You’ll also be able to improve on your recovery time and lean muscle growth as we now know that massages can enhance oxygen extraction within the muscles.

Are you wondering how to get started making pilates and massage therapy work for you? One thing you can do is put your massage therapist in contact with your pilates instructor. That way, they can make the appropriate recommendations based on your individual needs for optimal results.

If you don’t already have a pilates instructor, ask your massage therapist for their recommendation as they may know one personally that they can refer you to. And, when you’re ready to start your post-pilates massage therapy regimen, you can schedule your appointment right here with us.
