My Secret Weapon: How Myology Sports Massage Helps Me Thrive as an Athlete

As a health and wellness coach, personal trainer, and elite athlete, believe me when I say that I understand the importance of pushing my body to new limits.

However, pushing too hard without proper recovery can lead to injuries, plateaus, and frustration.

Mostly injuries. Again, take it from me.

That's where Myology Sports Massage comes into my story: they've become my secret weapon for staying on top of (and in this case even ahead of) my game.

My journey with Myology started towards the end of last competition season. You probably think it’s my shoulder (which they have also taken care of, mind you…)

I had been dealing with a nagging hamstring injury for close to a year and it was threatening to derail my next season of training. I would literally wake up in pain and be unable to sleep through the night because of it. No movements seemed to trigger it more than any others, but nothing I tried made it feel any better. And I had tried everything. In my very first meeting with them, one of their skilled therapists (Rob) took the time to understand my very specific needs, crafting a personalized plan that targeted the tightness, acute pain, and inflammation. Not only has it helped to relieve the pain I was feeling, but it also accelerated my recovery, improved my range of motion and flexibility, and allowed me to return to training stronger than before. I finally felt confident through movements and was able to get my beauty sleep.

Myology Rob has been a key player in my fitness plans ever since. His focus on bodywork that “enhances the quality of movement" goes beyond mere treatment. His advanced techniques, like deep tissue work, myofascial release, and cupping, address deep tissue issues, improve blood flow, and break down scar tissue. This translates to faster recovery after intense workouts, increased flexibility and range of motion, and a reduction in muscle soreness and stiffness. Rob is also great at communicating the techniques he’s using so that I feel educated and involved in the plan of attack for each area that’s bugging me.

Beyond physical benefits, Myology has also helped me mentally. Their personalized approach and focus on open communication create a space of trust and support. Knowing my body is in good hands allows me to train and compete with confidence, pushing my limits without fear of setbacks.

And I know that my story with them is not unique. Myology Sports Massage has helped countless athletes, from weekend warriors to seasoned professionals, optimize their performance and achieve their fitness goals. Whether you're battling an injury, seeking to improve your recovery, or simply want to reach your full potential as an athlete, Myology can be your secret weapon, too. I’ll share them with you (just this once). They offer a range of services tailored to individual needs, ensuring you get the support you deserve to perform at your best and feel your absolute best. Highly recommend!
