The Good & Bad (mostly bad) of Massage Therapy with Alice Sanvito The Run Smarter Podcast

Alice Sanvito is a massage therapist trained in trigger point massage, remedial and sports massage. After several years practicing & lecturing the concepts she learnt she began challenging her own beliefs and following the science. Today we cover: Are there benefits to promoting blood circulation, and removing lactic acid? Does massage help with muscle lengthening & knots? What is the mechanism behind trigger point therapy? What traps should runners avoid when injured? When is there a place for a runner to receive massage therapy?
