Over the years I learned that there are certain techniques that "work" for me, and not every massage therapist uses the same techniques.<br /><br />Also, ask other runners for recommendations! That's how I found the people I've liked.<br /><br />If you decide on 30 minutes, the therapist will focus on one area (for example: legs or neck/back) rather than doing a full-body massage. Nothing wrong with that -- just something to consider.<br /><br />Hope you enjoy!Beth (i run like a girl)http://i-run-like-a-girl.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7349589916468289615.post-4768371204053311072011-11-06T17:05:34.353-08:002011-11-06T17:05:34.353-08:00I just looked into sports massage today since I to...I just looked into sports massage today since I too have this nagging hip/knee pain.

I went after my marathon on Sunday for a recovery type massage. I'm also going a week prior to my 50K for more of a sports massage. It will be interesting to feel the differences between the two types of services!keyalushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706394687703975927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7349589916468289615.post-26196162857043578342011-11-03T06:03:49.086-07:002011-11-03T06:03:49.086-07:00I LOVE a good sports massage!

And yes, though it can be uncomfortable (painful!) during, it feels wonderful afterwards!Kristin @ Every Day Is Run Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13967502290767642386noreply@blogger.com
