When we are all training constantly and pushing our body to its limit, it becomes important to apply some outside healing techniques. There are specific people that may hold the key to helping you recover more quickly. Here are a few of the people that I have found particularly helpul.
MASSAGE THERAPIST - Less pain, reduced stress and an improved immune system are some benefits. All of these benefits and many more can could be yours with a routine of regular massage therapy. Like keeping a musical instrument in tune, massage, helps you run smoothly. It rejuvenates your body from the outside in allowing it to function as best it can. Look into finding a local professional you can visit at least once a month.
CHIROPRACTOR - Regular chiropractic care maintains the integrity of the spine and nervous system to help prevent health problems. Chiropractic work can also be a successful alternative to risky and invasive procedures. I feel blessed to have a father that does this for a living. Research suggests that certain chiropractic adjustments can even significantly lower high blood pressure!
ACUPUNCTURIST - This type of recovery originates from China and has been practiced there for thousands of years. Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through the patient's skin at specific points on the body. The needles are inserted to various depths. The therapeutic benefits from acupuncture range from general pain relief to alleviation from nausea caused by chemotherapy.
Working with any one of these people may encourage you to push your body harder. You will find you feel better going hard day in and day out. If you say you train like a Pro, then you certainly need to recover like one.
