| 16 Feb 2021 | Bodywork, Foam Rollers, & Percussion for Athletes with Myology | 00:42:25 | |
Coach Chris Newport talks with Vincent Bounds, owner of Myology Sports Massage to see how athletes can best use massage and bodywork to recover. They have a unique business model for massage and bodywork. Instead of having a brick and mortar location, they go to other gyms and facilities throughout the Triangle and Greensboro to better meet athletes where they are. Don't expect any pan flutes or sheet magic. They do sports and movement based bodywork, where athletes come clothed in order to get optimal joint mobility. Vincent describes how often an athlete needs to get bodywork. Generally, he says that most athletes do well getting bodywork about every 4-6 weeks, but it may need more or less based on their goals and where they are in their training. Your bodywork should follow your periodized training program, increasing with more training volume and intensity.
Here's Vincent's main tips for you to take home:
