Post workout massage

how many hours do you need to wait before you get a massage? or depends what type of workout you did? its an easy week for me and i would like to have one tom after my am run. of 45mins

My preference is to wait about 30 seconds…no time is a bad time for a massage, IMO.

What is your concern in terms of getting one too soon?

Have you ever gotten a post-race massage? Feels great and helps reduce soreness later in the day.

I don’t really know, but I have been advised to wait after a run for the heart rate to return to normal and for the sweating to stop. I’ve also been advised to hydrate before a post-workout message.

haven`t had one for a long time already and with the long weekend, would want to treat myself with one.

have had one but it wasn`t nice during but afterwards felt loose

for a post workout masssage on your lite week really anytime. Just make sure you are hydrated before and more importanly after. Happy massage

There’s no specific time IMO, just take a shower before going for a massage. My GF is a masseuse, and she hates getting sweaty smelly people right off the gym floor. :slight_smile:

I agree with that totally. Nothing worse than someone who smells or isn’t clean.

I’ve been lightly massaging my own legs after running. Not certain if it’s helping much but my legs feel better the next day.
