Pilates & Massage, the Golf Edition

Living in South Florida, we are accustomed to the golf lifestyle. Many clients visit us for pain and soreness from playing, or to improve their golf game. There are numerous techniques to reduce muscle tension and aid in proper follow-thru. As with any movements or exercises, stretches can be an excellent tool for increasing flexibility and rotation. By combining Pilates exercises with massage therapy, the client is well equipped for ultimate performance. Pilates helps to strengthen the core muscles and increase flexibility in the hips and shoulders. There are specific movements that focus on the areas used for a strong swing and follow-thru. By targeting these areas, the client becomes more body conscious, which helps to maintain proper form. Once the client has exercised the muscles, a massage therapist can work to alleviate any soreness experienced. Vigorous massages are designed to increase blood flow, break up adhesions and reduce rigidity in the muscles, tendons, and ligament

Share the Love...

Share the love with a Valentine's Day Massage for yourself, your significant other, or your loved ones. Giving the gift of massage is an excellent way to show you care because there are so many health benefits. Massage increases circulation, getting your blood flowing throughout the body, bringing oxygen  and nourishment to your muscles. It also speeds up the removal of waste products like lactic acid that can build up after a workout thus helping your muscles to remain strong yet supple and even giving a boost to your metabolism. Massage also stimulates the release of feel good hormones like endorphins and serotonin which can ease anxiety, prevent depression, and help provide a greater sense  of happiness. Massage works on the body as well as the mind helping to give you an overall feeling of wellbeing. Isn't that what we all want for ourselves and those we hold dear? This Valentine's Day give the gift of good health and happiness with a massage from Jupiter Massage &a
