As much as I want to have more time to go to the spa as much as I want to, the nature of my job limits me to do so. When I started running more frequently, I began to realize that I need those massages and stretching to keep my legs and the rest of my body toned and flexible to keep up with the enduring long distance run I normally do.
For those who are asking me for advice on when to get a massage after a run, I normally recommend two to three days after a long distance run. Running 21k or 42k marathons take a lot of toll to your muscle fibers on your legs and feet. There are what experts called “micro-muscle fiber tearing”. But don’t be alarm, because this is normal and our body has the capability to heal by itself. All you need to do is to rest and recover, eat food rich in protein, like meat. This will help your body rebuild its torn fibers and reconnects itself again. After a good rest and recovery period, do a short recovery run then hit the spa for a lite massage and stretching.

Last week, my wife and I had the opportunity to have a short stay-cation at Radision Makati. Just a short walk from the hotel is a branch of Blue Water Day Spa where we spent an hour and a half of a good soothing massage. My wife and I chose a combination of Swedish and Herbal massage with a lite stretching of limbs. This massage services are unique with Blue Water Day Spa and are being offered to all branches nationwide.

This particular style of massage gives a double enticing and relaxing feature and spending more time on body parts that you wish to focus on.

Another interesting massage service is the Athletic massage which focuses on body and limb stretching, allowing your muscle reach its optimum flexibility. This type of massage is designed for obviously, athletes who are into post-competition recovery. Stretching is indeed an ideal part recovery but it is important to know your limits, over stretching might also result to minor injuries sometimes.
