Well its here, and likely here to stay! If you haven't guessed it I'm referring to the dreaded winter! If you're more like me, and would much rather be indoors when the snow flies, then you're probably less than excited over it. But if you're into all the sports winter has to offer, then you're probably super excited for snow! Now is the time to ask yourself, is your body ready? Winter sports can take a serious toll on your body and cause all sorts of soreness, especially at the beginning of the season. Though starting your season early with regular massages can help you feel better and allow your body to preform better when the snow gets here.
It doesn't matter if you're beginning to get into all these winter sports or a seasoned pro, as an athlete you are always trying to get better. Starting massage therapy treatments prior to the winter season can drastically improve your results! Massage therapy can definitely aid in the balance which is also important for these activities.
All sports have the risk of injury and can create soreness in your body at some point or another. Winter fun seems to just bring more pain than the other seasons for some reason. Getting your muscles all loosened up after a long day of snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, or snowshoeing can definitely be worth it, as you will definitely be feeling the stiffness after these and almost all other winter sports.
