\n<\/strong>Even though many elite athletes consider massage an essential part of their training and recovery<\/a> routine why should you do it also? Heck, you aren\u2019t an elite athlete and you never will be. I\u2019m sure there is a good reason they do it (they probably think it makes them perform better, HA SUCKA) but you don\u2019t want the guys thinking you are a pampered lap dog. Don\u2019t risk it!<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Why spend money on a massage when you could use that for a good bottle of tequila? Even though Health & Fitness Magazine<\/a> says massage acts to improve performance, reduce pain, prevent injury, encourage focus and shorten recovery time, doesn\u2019t mean YOU\u2019LL see any cost savings. Visiting the doctor when you have injuries or back pain isn\u2019t THAT expensive. Plus, doctor\u2019s visits are way more fun than getting a massage. Ol\u2019 Dr. Jelly-Finger hasn\u2019t seen you in a while anyway.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Massage can help break down adhesions<\/a> (scar tissue) and prevents injury, so no more special treatment from your loved ones from getting hurt during sports! You will just have to FAKE an injury if you want your honey to feel sorry for you.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>People are so relaxed after a massage, right? They say that massage improves mental focus<\/a> and helps the mind with problem-solving and coping with stressful situations. But, by the looks on people\u2019s faces when they just had a massage, there is NO way that\u2019s true. It\u2019s probably best to go through your week with things on your mind and being stressed out because if you were actually focused and relaxed people would start to talk.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Everyone knows that! Massage reduces pain, anxiety, and stress because it releases endorphins, which is a natural painkiller. Massage feels GREAT so how are you supposed to gain if you have no pain? Sure, sometimes a deep massage on those tired and sore muscles kind of hurts but it\u2019s a good hurt. The kind that dreams are made of. So for SURE don\u2019t get a massage<\/p>\n
