Massage Is Good For You And Me

What with all the training that we as skiers do, recovery is key. In fact, it's recovery which actually benefits us; the training only serves to break our body down while the *proper* recovery allows us to super-compensate for the training and thus come out the other end stronger, faster, better looking, etc etc etc.

We of MOD have been utilizing the extraordinary therapeutic massage services of Alison Hanks, a local licensed massage practitioner and avid long-distance runner. Through both Erik and Sadie's minor injuries this summer and all of our general training fatigue Alison's work has served a crucial purpose in bringing our bodies to a quicker recovery, enabling us to get out and train harder the next day.
