☕️ SKIP THE CAFFEINE - You may be able to handle 300MG a day but before your massage? 👎 Caffeine will leave your nervous system more excitable and ready to go, the opposite of what you want in a massage

☀️ In the MORNING before my massage, I get a light (I mean LIGHT) work out in, maybe it the sauna and prime my body to pump more fluids

💧 I also hydrate BEFORE my massage - You’ll be told to drink water after but coming in ALREADY hydrated, that’s a PRO move - Drink 1-2 glasses of water before you show up

🤨 Do you do any of these?

Have a tight shoulder? Tingling in your fingers? Try this simple 3 minute stretch and activation routine!

1. Start with the Shoulder floss (End Zone Referee) 4-5 times.

2. Grab a broom, mop, swiffer, or towel and place behind the back over your shoulder. Reach behind with other hand and grab towel. Now, pull down and create a straight line with your elbow and body. Hold for 20-30 seconds. Repeat for other shoulder

3. Interlock fingers behind your back, externally rotate shoulders and flip hands out so your thumbs are pointing up. Holding that position, bend over and reach your hands (still interlocking) to the sky. Hold 15-30 seconds.

4. Arms are shoulder level, straight ahead. Do 20-30 seconds of outward rotating circles with arms. Change direction and continue for 20-30 seconds. Repeat with arms to your sides, at shoulder level.

5. Enjoy the relief!

📝 Today's subject? The importance of honest feedback and reviews! (Your key to better care)

📢 Speak up! Let your therapist know what you love and what can be improved. It will only serve to get you better care.

🎯 Don't just say, "That sucked!" Tell your therapist EXACTLY what to improve. (Bed too cold, room too hot, pressure too much, etc)

✍️ Now, go write your favorite therapist a review and give them actionable items to improve or tell them why they are the best!

Thinking about seeing more than one therapist? GOOD. Here’s why that’s actually smart recovery strategy—not a betrayal. (More tips in the video!)

3️⃣ Reasons to work with multiple massage therapists:

✅ Different Skill Sets – Some are deep tissue pros, others specialize in sports recovery, trigger point, or lymphatic drainage. Use the right tool (person) for the job.

🕒 Different Schedules – Your recovery shouldn't wait just because your usual therapist is booked.

🤝 Collaboration – Good therapists should be on the same team: YOURS. No ego. Just better outcomes.

Recently, I had the privilege of working with Brando Barratt. Brando is prepping for a STRONGMAN competition in California. Hopeful to get his pro card, he has been training his a** off. Naturally, this type of training (strongman) comes with aches, pains and a need to recover faster. Here is the short version of the video, stay tuned for the FULL LENGTH SESSION!!!

We got Brando under the Red Light to boost recovery at the cellular level, recharging him like Superman. Red Light therapy is beneficial for injury recovery, tissue repair, collagen production, and a litany of other things. (Seriously, check it out, I am an affiliate and have discount codes Red Light Therapy ) 

Then we tuned him up with a Sports massage recovery session. The massage is going to help boost his range of motion (ROM), help the tissues recover faster, reset his nervous system, and keep him in top shape for training.

🙅‍♂️ Don’t overthink it. Keep it simple.

🚮 If it is not working, it’s okay to say, “This isn’t for me” 

🔍 If you feel hopeless, you’re not helpless. Find someone who knows more and listen 👂

Fuel like an athlete — because recovery starts before you train. 💥
This is what 1,300+ calories of recovery-focused breakfast looks like:

🍳 76g protein – for muscle repair & strength
🥑 58g fats – for hormones & lasting fullness
🥯 98g carbs – for quick energy & glycogen refill

This meal keeps me focused, energized, and ready to work with high-level athletes all day. If you're skipping meals or under-eating, you’re slowing down your recovery — period.

🔁 Want to train harder and bounce back faster? Start with your plate.
