Take out the garbage: cross-fiber massage gets you "rolling" toward recovery

Article Abstract:

Deep friction, or cross fiber, massage is being used to help athletes recover from sports injuries. The muscles are rolled and stretched to increase blood flow, break up scar tissue, increase flexibility and change brain chemistry. The technique is used for both acute and chronic injuries.

I have been receiving cross-fiber massage for about two years now. I'm a professional boxer. This is now the ONLY type of massage I will have, as it is the best, most effective I have ever had. It is great and very healing when you are injured, and is even better to go weekly (if you can afford that) for maintenance. Its simply amazing. I highly recommend it. To the rookie it may be a bit painful or uncomfortable at the get-go but as your muscles are able to relax and release after a few sessions it will actually start to feel good, and the therapist will be able to actually go deeper.
