Massage therapy positively affects every system in the body, improving performance mentally and physically. It improves the connection between the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system. It untangles muscle fibers to maximize response time and coordination. Studies show conclusively that massage improves reaction time, decreases mental errors (even mathematical) and improves creative thinking. Massage increases the rate of the body’s ability to detoxify itself by up to 50%. It decreases blood pressure, improves diaphragmatic breathing, and improves circulation to limbs. Massage supports healthy posture and improves flexibility and range of motion. And, of course, massage relieves the stress of big meetings and big games.
Athletes at the top of their game sometimes experience a plateau. Regular professional massage not only helps athletes work through pain, but optimizes their bodily systems so then can take their performance to the next level. Over the past decade, Jodi Scholes has worked on NFL, NHL, MLS and USTF athletes, as well as international football players travelling in the Washington DC area.
Top-level performers and executives also rely on massage to mitigate the stresses they put upon their bodies: jet lag, packed schedules, and the constant demand for perfection. Taking time for massage can reset your nervous system, blood pressure, breathing and digestion, enabling you to perform at your highest plane every day.
