Wednesday 12-19-2012 (AM session Pre-hab/Re-hab)
90 minutes of professional stretching and deep tissue massage I feel like a new man.
I had and still have so many things wrong with me from stress, neglect and just being very careless. Going to incorporate stretching, foam rolling, etc... into my routines both before and after from now on and get a professional massage at least twice a month.
