BENEFITS OF MASSAGE

If your body is under stress, fatigued, or “fighting” pain, then another of our essential services – massage – may be the key to your overall success, both in and out of GO: Fitness Center. Our health club massage room is tucked away from the clanging weights and running treadmills in a quiet corner of the center. The room is peaceful green with tranquil music and a video of different beaches playing. Our massage therapists are State Board Licensed and are able to accommodate anyone’s needs from a relaxation massage to a deep tissue sports massage.

The promotion of increasing blood flow through your muscle tissue through a variety of touches – has been shown to accomplish the following:

  • Relieves stress
  • Lessen or completely relieve muscle pain by stimulating endorphins – your body’s natural painkillers.
  • Improves your range of motion by stretching tight muscles and surrounding supportive
  • Prepares you for/helps you recover from extensive, endurance training by increasing blood flow and the flow of fresh oxygen and nutrients into the muscle while moving out lactic acid and toxins.
  • Increases your immune system by stimulating the lymph nodes – your body’s natural defense system.
  • Improves your overall circulation.

Getting a massage does not mean you are weak! Getting a massage to relieve life-depleting stress or to strengthen your body is smart self-care. Massages will lessen the delayed onset of muscle soreness – DOMS. When DOMS is reduced, your body will be available to be strengthened however you want, to create your best fitness experience possible.

Having a massage at GO: Fitness is not like your typical health club massage. If you are not a member, you will find GO: Fitness has a relaxed atmosphere with a friendly staff. This is where you can come as you are and not worry, you can just be relaxed. If you are a member, you may get a light workout in before, shower up, then enjoy your massage, completely de-stressed. You can get on the Power Plate, so you can begin your therapy before entering the massage room by doing some light stretches with the vibration platform.
