Happy New Year!

Thank you all for supporting the Soarbody Therapeutics in 2010!
Our mission is help clients address the underlying cause of their
musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction and support them in their
efforts to make the very most of the wonderful gifts they have been given. It has truly been an honor to work with you all in 2010 and I hope to see you all in the treatment room in 2011.

There are still a few openings left early New Years Eve and later
New Years Day, so if you need to shake off that New Years Eve 10K
or looking for the perfect low effort start on tackling your lofty training goals for 2011, I would be honored to help you start off on the right foot.

Hope to see you soon!

Sincerely,
    Sam

Preventing Tendinitis

Tendinitis results over time when the force applied to the tendon continually exceeds the force it was intended to absorb. Proper conditioning of the muscles and proper body mechanics are our most powerful tool in preventing tendinitis, but sports massage can be a very important tool in prevention as well. If proper conditioning has been embraced and body mechanics respected, sports massage can help prevent damage to the tendons when the stress is necessarily high (typing for long periods of time, running track, playing basketball, etc) by keeping the muscle tissue open and elastic, resolving adhesion, and breaking down scar tissue, all of which decrease the stress on the muscle tendon. This is not a casual endeavor and takes a knowledgeable and experienced therapist to perform. For athletes of all types (sports, musical, performing arts) as well as working people, its an important tool in preventing tendinitis and facilitating peak performance.
