Slave Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Is this an important part of your regimen? Why?If-not why not? What is the going rate?
bduplessis Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Before a big race I go for 1 or 2 sessions. I think it helps.
GTfan Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Not too sure but at Karkloof there was a tent where they were offering free massages
flex Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 I go for one weekly, R80 per session, but I'm lucky enough to have a sports massage therapist two floors up from my office... very convenient, and makes me feel better about never stretching after a ride
wheelz Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 A sports massage is amazing. I more often do an ice bath, cause its cheaper
AuctionLamb Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 I am a qualified sports masseur and I can tell you that a sports massage improves recovery A LOT!!! By having a massage it is equal to one extra rest day for your legs to recover.AuctionLamb2009-05-20 01:19:57
1hill@aTime Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 been once, when my knee was acting up, haven't been since but do try massage them myself, it seems to work, if you have a GF ask her to do it for you,
Flemish Lion Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 If it were more affordable I would go once a week. Currently Slo-Jo and I give each other leg rubs - but for races like SabieX and Panorama we struggled to find the energy!
Genesis Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Sport massage helps me alot, especially when I run. Cycling has strengthned some muscles and shortened others, causing knee problems when I run. The actual massage it pretty damn painfull but absolutely worth it. Cost about R100 for an 1/2 hour session. Recommended if you seriously active.

Slave Posted May 20, 2009 Author Posted May 20, 2009 I'm about to do the course myself. Wanted to guage what sort of rates are applicable and what level of advertising I would have to do and how many massages to pay for the course.
