Deep Muscle Massage/Stretching

[hotttsauce]

Searching for some real life results and wanted some imput.

I know there a some that get deep muscle massage to benefit growth, deeper muscle seperation and for increased blood flow.

If you have, how often to you receive it? Are you seeing benefits? If so, in what way? Any thoughts about this?

Also,

I have never been a fan of stretching before/after workouts. If you do prior/post, what types of results have you seen from this practice.

Thanks in advance for responses!

I liked it when I've had ART. It worked great for me.

I hurt my shoulder. I went in and they broke up the adheasions. I did the rotator exercises and I never went back or had a problem.

Stretching: I heard all sorts of info regarding stretching both positive and negative. This I can say with utmost certainty- When I don't stretch, my life sucks. I feel like shit, my joints hurt, my muscles hurt and I lose mobility. I feel like a big oaf with no athletic ability.

As long as I stand in one place and no one bumps me then I am fine! lol. I don't want to be like that! I like being able to move. For me, that means stretching.

Just my opinion based on trying both methods-
