For golfers, the mind-body connection is one of the most important factors to compete at a high level. The movement of a golf swing requires great flexibility and full extension of most of the major muscle groups. With that in mind, the Phoenix Salon & Spa now offers a massage catered to golfers. Massage tones muscles and increases overall flexibility by increasing blood flow to the muscles, ligaments and tendons. In turn, this allows the joints to experience a smooth, full range of movement. Another significant benefit of this massage is the decline of injuries caused by the repetitive motions of a golf swing by allowing a more natural movement of the ten areas most prone to golf-related injury—the lower back, wrist, elbow, shoulder, knee, neck, hip, ribs, ankle and foot. The primary goal of this specialized massage is to get you on the table before an injury occurs, thus allowing you to stay injury free and improve your overall enjoyment of the game. The massage technique differs from traditional massage in many ways. During the 90 to 120 minute session, not only is bodywork performed in the normal face-up and face- down fashion, but also along both sides of the body. This allows the therapist to work deeper on the major muscle groups to achieve full mobility of all joints. Whether you play three times a week once a month, the Phoenix Golfer’s Massage will help you stay pain free and play at the top of your game!
