Play Therapy Helping children express their emotions, thoughts and experiences.

By Susan Falk, Playworks Counseling Center.

“What do most Nobel Laureates, innovative entrepreneurs, artists and performers, well-adjusted children, happy couples and families, and the most successfully adapted mammals have in common? They play enthusiastically throughout their lives.”

—Stuart Brown, Institute of Play IN THIS ERA OF ENTERTAINMENT by television and high-tech video games, children are less likely to use creative and imaginative play. This developmentally deprives many children since imaginative and fantasy play allows them to explore their world and express their innermost thoughts and feelings, hopes and fears, likes and dislikes.

Through play, decisions can be made without penalty or fear of failure.

Play affords children the ability to gain control over their thoughts, feelings, and actions. It assists them in building self-confidence.

Play matters for both kids and adults. Play is a necessity. It is a source

PLAY THERAPY PlayWorks

Counseling Center Now located at:

HAWKINS HOUSE HEALING CENTER

of relaxation and stimulation for our minds and our bodies. It is a sure way to develop creativity, problem solving skills, and positive mental health. Some folks describe play as a time when they feel most alive.

Play teaches transformation of negative emotions and experiences. It supercharges learning, relieves stress, and connects us to others and our world. An expert in mental health said, “Play is as important to human happiness as is love and work.” (Schaefer 1993).

adults. However, there is more to Play Therapy than just playing with children.

Play Therapy is a specialized area of practice requiring extensive training and experience.

The Association for Play Therapy defines Play Therapy as “the systematic use of a theoretical model to establish an interpersonal process wherein trained therapists use the therapeutic powers of play to help clients prevent or resolve psychosocial difficulties and achieve optimal growth and development.”

Making sense of the world is an enormous task for children. This task becomes complicated when a child has experienced physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, lost a parent or loved one through death, divorce, or separation. In addition, life stressors such as hospitalization, relocation/moving, major illness in the family, or foster care placement/adoption can disrupt a child’s emotional, cognitive, and physical development as well as his/her bonding and attachment.

Play Therapy is appropriate for children ages 2-12 years; however, adolescents and adults can also benefit from Play Therapy.

Play Therapy helps children express their emotions, thoughts, and experiences.

“Toys are the child’s words and play is their language” (Landreth 2002). Paramount to any type of counseling/therapy is the development of a positive relationship.

Along with the relationship, Play Therapy provides a corrective emotional experience necessary for healing and growth. It also supports resolution of inner conflict; learning adaptive behaviors; provides insight and cognitive development. The aim of Play Therapy is to decrease those behavioral and emotional difficulties that interfere significantly with a child’s or individual’s normal functioning.

Children experience emotional pain as do adults. When significant life events occur, children may have changes in behavior, mood, sleep, appetite, and academic or social functioning. In some cases, it is not as clear what has caused a child to suddenly seem withdrawn, worried, irritable, sulky, or tearful. Sometimes children will have physical complaints such as headaches, stomachaches, or not feeling well despite a normal exam by their physician.

If these events or problems occur, kids can benefit from therapy. Play Therapy is to children what talk therapy is to

If you have concerns for your child, children, or family members over experiences or changes in behaviors, discuss your concerns with your doctor to rule out any medical conditions. Your doctor can help you find a qualified therapist to assist your child and your family.

BusinessSpotlight

Sharon’s Country Store Food, furniture, gifts and more.

By Patty Hutchens.

AS 20-YEAR RESIDENTS of Bonners Ferry, Norv and Sharon Skirvseth grew up in the Midwest. Sharon, raised by parents with an Amish background, learned early on the value of hard work, and it certainly has paid off. “I’ve always liked home business,” said Sharon referring to a tradition of the Amish culture.

In 2006, Sharon decided to put her talent to work and began a business in the basement of the Bonners Ferry home she shares with her husband Norv. Today that business, Sharon’s Country Store, is a favorite of many from Creston to Coeur d’Alene. In June 2008 they moved the business from their home and into a storefront, and then to its current location at 510752 Highway 95 in January 2009.

A VARIETY OF CHOICES! Sharon’s Country Store does not just carry food items! They have fabric, sewing supplies and the very popular Amish made furniture. From benches to bookcases there is something for everyone.

Sharon’s Country Store offers bulk foods, cooking and baking supplies, snacks and more. Whether it is beans, rice, popcorn or flour, one can find 25 to 50 pound bags at Sharon’s. If you are one who enjoys canning, the store offers a vast array of canning supplies as well.

Whatever your dietary needs or desires, Sharon’s Country Store is a perfect place to shop. They carry natural and organic foods and offer a gluten free section. “Most of our baking ingredients are non GMO,” said Sharon referring to foods that do not contain genetically modified organisms. “We also can do a lot of special orders if we don’t have an item in stock.”

In addition to bulk foods, Sharon’s Country Store also offers a full deli with meats and delicious cheese as well as an assortment of jams, jellies, honey and butter.

But the store is not limited to carrying just food items. They have fabric, sewing supplies and the very popular Amish made furniture. “We have glider rockers and old fashioned hickory rockers,” said Sharon who adds that she also carries benches, bookcases and other items made by local craftsmen. “Our wooden drying racks are very popular.”

Knowing their vendors and having first hand knowledge of the items and their origin is important to Sharon and Norv. “I love carrying good quality items and knowing exactly where they come from,” said Sharon.

She and Norv and their three employees take pride in providing friendly customer service, and based on the amount of repeat customers from Bonners Ferry and beyond, they have been successful at fulfilling that mission.

They enjoy meeting people from all over the country as the International Selkirk Loop, a 280 mile scenic drive that takes visitors through some of the most beautiful landscapes in the country, travels right past their store.

With six children ranging in age from 5 to 18 years of age, Sharon and Norv lead busy lives. But it does not appear they will slow down anytime soon. They recently purchased a neighboring business, The Bread Basket, and are excited about being able to carry on the tradition of the previous owners, Darrel and Dorothy Chupp. “They built the business, and we want to keep the wonderful atmosphere they have created,” said Sharon.

Stop in today and see all that Sharon’s Country Store has to offer. They are open Monday through Friday 8am5:30pm and Saturday 8am-2pm.

You can also find them online at www.sharonscountrystore.com.

Home Improvement Goes Outdoors April Tips for Starting a Vegetable Garden.

By Julianna Verboort.

TREES ARE BUDDING, the earth is warming, and it is time to make a garden plan! What should gardeners accomplish this month?

Your Northwest locale dictates specifics, but in a nutshell, April is time to decide what to grow, plan your garden space, and start seeds indoors. Geographically specific gardening resources are abundant, so guidance is close at hand!

Mavis Butterfield, a gardening and home life blogger at OneHundredDollarsAMonth.com in Gig Harbor, WA, offers these suggestions for April: “I like to get a jump start on my cucumber and zucchini seeds by starting them indoors under grow lights. The trick is to not plant them too early - mid April works best for me - so they are ready to transplant to the garden in mid-May. I also like to start a few herbs indoors. Basil, Cilantro, and parsley come to mind. What am I direct sowing into the garden? Carrots, celery, kohlrabi, beets, chard, kale and asparagus roots.”

Butterfield uses wood pallets for garden boxes. Look for heat-treated palettes, versus chemically treated wood. Clear the ground; lay

12 Bonners Ferry Living Local | www.BonnersFerryLiving.com

landscape fabric below the pallet; fill with garden soil, pushing the soil in between the wood slats; and plant with lettuces, herbs, peppers, strawberries, or any number of above ground vegetables. Butterfield’s blog offers a pallet garden tutorial.

The Bonner County Gardener’s Association presents events and education for gardeners in the eastern edge of the Northwest.

Check out their website at bcgardeners. org. University of Idaho’s Extension also provides a wealth of resources for Idaho and eastern Washington growers; find them at http://web.cals.uidaho.edu/idahogardens.

ADVICE Advice from experienced growers is to start small, investigate before planting and learn from successful gardeners in your area.

New gardeners are tempted by the wide array of gardening options and food choices and can quickly find themselves with too many projects and not enough yield for the effort! Advice from experienced growers is to start small and investigate before planting.

We Set the Standard!

Know your climate and your soil. Invest in a gardening reference book specific to your climate.

Experts recommend a laboratory soil test every three years, with home testing in between. United States Department of Agriculture Cooperative Extension Offices offer soil testing for a small fee.

If organic gardening is your goal, use organic amendments rather than agricultural chemicals.

Learn from successful gardeners in your area. Search online for local gardening bloggers; check city and county parks programs and local universities for Master Gardener advisory sessions or gardening classes.

With a little research, some gardening friends, and tapping into local resources, you will soon be on your way to fresh homegrown food!

THE CLUB Bonners Ferry Lacrosse Club was awarded The First Stick Program Grant.

Bonners Ferry Lacrosse Club Sign up now for the elementary and middle school programs starting soon!

By John Niewieroski. Photos by Jason Duchow Photography.

IT IS A DISAPPOINTMENT to many in this community that there will be no varsity lacrosse program this year in Bonners Ferry.

For the past eight years, the Bonners Ferry Lacrosse Club participated in the North Idaho Lacrosse League at the varsity level. However, with no lacrosse programs at the elementary or middle level, which serve as a feeder program for the varsity program, we did not have a sufficient number of boys signing up this year to play at the varsity level.

Now for the good news! In an effort to start the feeder program at the elementary and middle school age groups, an application was submitted to US Lacrosse, and Bonners Ferry Lacrosse Club was awarded The First Stick Program Grant.

The grant supplies the Bonners Ferry Lacrosse Club with enough equipment to field a team of 24 players and one goalie this year and equipment to field another team of 12 players and one goalie next year.

Also, as part of the US Lacrosse First Stick Program Grant, I attended the US Lacrosse National Convention in Philadelphia, PA from January 10-12, and my assistant coach, Brandon Glaza, will be attending the conference next year.

The First Stick program Grant allows us the opportunity to develop boys’ lacrosse teams at the 4th-5th, and 6th-7th, grade levels with the hope of developing the 8th grade program next year.

We have the equipment, now we need to have 15-20 boys at each level to commit to playing lacrosse this spring. The season will begin in mid- March and will run until the first weekend in June.

For more information regarding the 2014 lacrosse season, contact head Coach John Niewieroski at 267.2778 or Assistant Coach Brandon Glaza at 596.1993. Spring is almost here, so let’s get out and play!

Riding for a cause. By Patty Hutchens.

SEVEN YEARS AGO North Idaho resident and bicycling enthusiast Brad Williams had a vision to bring a bike race to the area. His inspiration, he says, came from the open road.

“Most riders are regional, but we have had riders from as far away as Florida, Vermont, Canada and even Italy and Spain,” said Elana Westphal, a member of Sandpoint Rotary and an organizer of this year’s CHAFE 150.

“That road between Bonners and the junction of MT 53 and Highway 200 is breathtakingly beautiful, and there is not much traffic,” said Williams. “I have been riding in many places around the northwest, and it just does not get much better.”

Because of its incredible setting and the thoughtfulness and organization that go into the ride, CHAFE 150 has been named one of the top endurance rides in America.

He also knew that in addition to a beautiful route, he wanted it to be challenging. “So why not 150 miles in a day?” said Williams.

Now, seven years later, the CHAFE 150 (Cycling Hard for Education) draws riders from all over the world.

“We have great rest stops, motorcycle escorts, excellent signage, great volunteers, and an excellent registration event and after ride party,” said Williams. “We really try to make this ride the best organized, best staffed ride of its kind in the country.”

Shortly after its inception, word of the event quickly traveled around the bicycling community, and cyclists of all levels were

eager to participate. It was then that planners added a second route, the ½ CHAFE, an 80mile ride that begins in Troy, Montana where riders and their bikes are bussed. The ride follows the second half of the CHAFE 150 route back to Sandpoint’s City Beach Park.

But there is much more to the CHAFE 150 than the breathtaking ride and the camaraderie of the cycling community. The event has raised a significant amount of funds all of which have gone back into the community to benefit education.

Panhandle Alliance for Education was the organizer and presenting organization of the CHAFE 150 for the first five years, and then last year Sandpoint Rotary enthusiastically took the ride over and continued the theme of benefiting local education. This year’s proceeds will go towards the needs of the

students who are on the autism spectrum as well as Sandpoint Rotary’s annual college and post secondary education scholarship award program.

With 260 riders last year, the number is sure to increase with the addition of a 30 mile Fun Ride that begins at City Beach Park and travels to the Pack River Store through Selle Valley and back to City Beach Park along the Lower Pack River Road.

For those interested in the full CHAFE 150 route, it begins at City Beach Park in Sandpoint, travels north to Bonners Ferry, east to Troy Montana, south along the Bull River Valley and then back to Sandpoint City Beach Park via Clark Fork and along the shores of Lake Pend Oreille.

In addition to several corporate sponsors, many of which have already showed great support for this year’s event, money is raised through rider registration fees and donations.

Whether you are a rider, a volunteer, or a community member just wanting to cheer on the participants, there will be an after-ride party at City Beach Park in Sandpoint. The event will be catered by Trinity at City Beach and includes great food, beer, wine and live music. The riders will receive an after ride meal and drinks as part of their registration fee, and all others in attendance can purchase food and drink for a modest cost with the net proceeds going towards the ride.

Because of its incredible setting and the thoughtfulness and organization that go into the ride, CHAFE 150 has been named one of the top endurance rides in America.

GROW

Helping to feed the Bonners Ferry community for the last 5 years.

By Jerry Pavia & Jason Thomas.

GARDENING TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE is a time-honored tradition and often a solitary pursuit. In recent years, the physical and mental benefits of gardening have been well known, even when a person is the sole caretaker of a plot. And community gardening is gaining ground in recent years, not only to provide food for families and local food banks, but also as a way for people to interact, forge lasting connections, and build a stronger community.

GROW (Gardeners for Regional Organic Wellbeing), the community garden organization in Bonners Ferry, is celebrating its sixth year. The organization will again be offering garden plots to community members who have no garden space, and GROW will also be growing food for the local food bank.

GROW has donated over two tons of food to the food bank over the past five years.

On Saturday, May 3rd at 9am, GROW will be holding its “Reinvigorate the Garden” (cleanup, prepare the garden for the new season) day at the GROW garden behind the Trinity Lutheran Church on Buchanan St. in Bonners Ferry. Just bring yourself and a pair of work gloves and join with other community members in helping out in your community garden.

GROW volunteer members and one paid part-time employee maintain two gardens. One is located on land donated by Trinity Lutheran Church and is adjacent to the Trinity’s Children’s Center on Buchanan Street. This garden area provides thirty-six gardening plots - each measuring 4 feet by 20 feet - that are available for community members to grow their choice of vegetables. GROW maintains demonstration plots in this garden and hosts occasional classes on all different types of gardening issues from composting

to planting to growing and harvesting vegetables.

The second GROW garden is on land donated by two GROW members and is located just past the Boundary Community Hospital on Kaniksu. Here, food is raised for donation to the food bank and to sell at the local Farmers Market. GROW sells some of its crops to help pay yearly fixed costs such as insurance, porta-potties at the two gardens, part-time employee, and upkeep of the tools necessary to garden.

The two gardens are maintained by volunteers, schoolchildren, a part-time garden manager, and young folks who need to give some community service time for a past mistake. The group has also been fortunate to have had a member of the Youth Conservation Corp help out in past summers.

Our future project, Vision for GROW!, aims to establish a community center that will provide a place for exercise and communication, as well as facilities for food storage and kitchens for processing food.

Our popular yearly event is the “Pick Your Pumpkin” from our pumpkin patch held in October. Kids of all ages delight in romping through the garden to select their pumpkin to decorate for Halloween.

Funding needs are met through memberships, which

are $20 a year, plot fees (very inexpensive), grants, and support from local businesses and organizations. This assistance and the help of volunteers make GROW possible and thrive.

If you would like to become a member, please mail your check for $20 to GROW at P. O. Box 1433, Bonners Ferry, ID 83805. By becoming a member you can share whatever time you have to help in the garden, attend meetings and help with planning, or just be a silent member with your financial support.

GROW meets twice a month on the first and third Tuesdays at Mugsy’s in downtown Bonners Ferry at 5:30pm. Everyone is welcome to attend and give what support they can to help.

Whitefish, Montana Weekend Getaway. By Colin Anderson.

WHITEFISH, MONTANA is truly one of the fist iconic tourist cities in the Western U.S. When Glacier National Park was officially given its designation, scores of tourists from the east coast loaded on the Amtrak Empire Builder and traveled west for days, finally landing in Whitefish, their last stop before entering the park. Whitefish grew so quickly that it was affectionately known as ‘Stumptown’ as streets and buildings were being built faster than stumps from felled trees could be removed. Today, the town has blossomed into a mix of upscale shops and eateries as well as authentic western saloons and ranches. It’s a place where high fashion meets cattle ranchin’, and it’s only a couple of hours drive from your home.

If you’re tired of driving, let someone else do the work. You can hop on an Amtrak train from Sandpoint and take it all the way to the Whitefish Depot where those first adventure seekers landed decades ago. It’s roughly a four hour trip from Sandpoint. The Whitefish Depot is within walking distance of downtown and shuttles and taxis can be arranged to take you to your accommodations.

The other main attraction that helps define Whitefish is Big Mountain, now known as Whitefish Mountain Resort. The mountain is visible looking north of town and having been constructed in the 1940’s is one of the oldest resorts in the country. While the terrain is different, it shares many similarities in size and annual snowfall to Schweitzer Mountain. From the top you are also looking down on town and beautiful Whitefish Lake. There are ski in/ski out condos, luxury homes, and other mountainside lodging if your weekend involves a heavy dose of powder skiing. Summer time brings additional activities to the mountain including hiking, mountain biking, zip lining, an alpine slide, and scenic chair rides.

For the ‘out and about’ crowd there are dozens of restaurants and bars to choose from, many 22 Bonners Ferry Living Local | www.BonnersFerryLiving.com

more than a town of less than 7,000 needs.

Stop into Great Northern Brewing and pick up a growler of freshly made Montana beer to go or take a stroll through town and find fresh fish, elk steak and burgers, pizza, Italian, and just about anything else your pallet can handle. Other than its natural beauty, Whitefish also boasts a symphony with an ever rotating list of musicians as well as a theatre company that puts on performances throughout the year.

If you’re traveling in summer, it would be a mistake not to visit ‘The Crown Jewel of the Continent’ Glacier National Park. Just 30 minutes separates you from the West Glacier Park entrance and some of the most spectacular scenery in North America. Take the ‘Going to the Sun Road’ to Logan Pass, and it will be one of the more memorable drives of your life. It’s a white knuckle ride with thousand foot cliffs between your vehicle and a few feet of pavement, but the views are spectacular. Remember it can

The visitor center is located at the top of the 6,600 foot pass and is a wealth of knowledge about the park. You’re also likely to see mountain goats and bighorn sheep.

Keep an eye out for Grizzlies and elk on your drive up and down. There are countless trails and backcountry to explore as well, just be sure to do your research before choosing a route.

Whitefish is positively one of the great vacation spots in our region.

Health&Lifestyle Want To Lose Weight?

It’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle.

By Lisa Paull, Certified Personal Trainer, FAST Program Director at PneuThera.

YOU WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT, but with so many diets out there how do you know which one is right for you? Do you go Paleo, try the Atkins diet again, join Weight Watchers? There are dozens of diet plans on the market, and many promise to magically shed fat off your body. Although many diets are ranked high for initial weight loss, their long-term results are sorely lacking. After trying a “diet”, accelerated weight gain is experienced when we return to our old habits.

So how do you quit on-and-off dieting for good and switch to a healthy lifestyle based on nutritious food and regular exercise? First, it’s important to address the reasons you want to lose weight, why you’ve been unable to maintain a healthy weight in the past, and what drives you to eat unnecessarily. Addressing the eating habits that

lead to excess body fat can help reduce the consumption of calories at the wrong times. Healthy weight loss is not simply a calories in/ calories expended equation. Eating 1000 calories in burgers and fries will affect your body differently than the same amount of calories in vegetables and lean meats.

Changing eating habits and increasing physical activity are the cornerstones of a healthy lifestyle. Keeping a food diary to calculate amounts of calories, fat, protein, carbohydrates, and salt can serve as a jumping off point. It can open your eyes to the eating patterns that are keeping you unhealthy. Once you determine where you are in excess, pick one thing to remove from your diet. Whether that be soft drinks (diet or regular), sugar, snack foods, or white flour products, you will start to notice the changes in your body. Assimilating one adjustment

at a time will bring you to a balanced healthy diet which will follow you long-term and lower your risk for disease. Purposely take it slowly to make sure you are adjusting physically and emotionally to the lifestyle changes. Emphasize lean protein, fruits, vegetables, and some whole grains. Spread your calories out, consuming 5-6 small meals a day. Pay attention to the ingredients and nutritional content of the food you buy and evaluate them based on calories and nutritious value.

A successful, long-term weight management plan must include an increase in activity.

Plan for at least 30 minutes of cardio exercise every day. If you are not sweating and can carry on a normal conversation throughout your workout, up the intensity. It is the single most important element in making your cardio work for you. Strength training should be added to your workout 3-5 times a week.

Resistance can come from dumbbells, weight machines, elastic tubing or bands, milk jugs, cans of soup, or your own body weight.

Results occur when you train consistently over time. Increase your workload gradually and lift each set to fatigue.

Weight is not the only measure of your success. Weigh only once a week and concentrate on how your clothes fit and how much better you feel. And most of all, enjoy your new lifestyle.

Assimilating one adjustment at a time will bring you to a balanced healthy diet which will follow you longterm and lower your risk for disease. Purposely take it slowly to make sure you are adjusting physically and emotionally to the lifestyle changes.

Changing Home Care

Explore the options for you or your loved one.

By Bruce Weaver, MPA, PA-C President & CEO AAging Better In-Home Care.

VARIOUS TYPES OF SENIOR CARE communities (Assisted Living Facilities, Alzheimer’s Care Facilities, Independent Living Communities, etc.) are being built, bought up by large national corporations or merging with already established facilities here in north Idaho. But they aren’t the only choices when it comes to arranging care for you or a loved one when you or they can no longer carry on the normal activities of daily living. Many seniors, as well as the disabled of all ages, prefer to stay (and even pass away) at home, and thanks to a growing home care industry, staying in the comfort of one’s own home while “aging-in-place” is now for many a far more preferable option than going into one of the facilities mentioned above.

Nurses in the United States have been visiting sick patients in their homes for well over a century, and the “house call” by some doctors is even making a comeback here in north Idaho. But it wasn’t until the 1950s that organized home care agencies, still comprised of nurses only, became a major player in the health care sector. Up until that time, nursing homes were essentially the only option for those individuals that were disabled or too aged to care for themselves. In 1965, provisions for home care were included in Medicare and Medicaid legislation, and Medicare (a federally funded program) is even now considering expanding those services that have traditionally been paid for by state Medicaid programs.

Despite its early origins, receiving services at home is still one of the newer senior care options available today. However, many families and seniors are still unaware that agencies exist across north Idaho that

can provide such services. As many older adults choose to age-in-place and costs for nursing homes continue to increase, hiring a home care agency to provide caregivers in the home is an increasingly attractive and popular option for senior or disabled care.

A number of the more established north Idaho home care agencies provide caregivers in all five northern counties, while others only serve one or two counties.

Doing an on-line search by putting in “Home Care” and “North Idaho” will bring up virtually all the agencies in the area.

As you search for a quality company, it’s important to look at what qualifications the managers, as well as the home care aides, have. Are there RNs on the management staff, and do they train the caregivers who are going to provide the in-home care?

And since many seniors and disabled have associated medical conditions, is there a medically trained individual on staff that can answer questions or provide guidance to the caregivers when problems develop while providing personal care services? Home care has now evolved far beyond just doing laundry, house cleaning, making meals or shopping for clients. It now involves preventing injuries, possible “first aid” care or coordinating with the client’s doctors, family members and other providers to ensure the seniors or disabled individuals stay both safely and effectively at home.

As the over-60 population in north Idaho continues to grow rapidly, more and more seniors and families can look forward to experiencing the benefits of cost, comfort and safety that make in-home care such a valuable option today.

Sports Massage

Sports massage is designed to help athletes achieve the best performance.

Authentic

isine Mexican Cu

MANY AMERICANS FOCUS ON the active part of exercise — lifting more weight or running more miles. But you build muscle during recovery, not while you’re exercising. For this reason, athletes of all levels are starting to pay exercise routines and recovery periods equal attention. And for many, sports massage has become a vital tool in the recovery process.

Sports massage is a specific form of massage designed to help athletes achieve the best possible performance and conditioning. Therapists usually concentrate on the areas most affected by a particular type of exercise. For example, a sports massage for a cyclist would address the quads, while a swimmer would need more work on the chest and upper back.

“Sports massage benefits all types of athletes; from the weekend warrior to the serious competitor. Receiving sports massage on a regular basis can increase muscle flexibility, reduce pain and inflammation from overuse during physical activity and promote faster recovery time,” said CG Funk, vice president of product development at Massage Envy.

Training massage helps athletes make the most of their exercise routines. Sports massage can reduce the likelihood of injury in oft-used muscles while also speeding recovery time, so athletes can work harder and more often.

Professional athletes will also arrange preevent massages, as massaging the muscles before a workout helps them warm up more quickly.

But don’t think only professional athletes can benefit from massage — sports massage helps anyone who engages in physical activity, including swimmers, weight lifters, runners, golfers, ball players, skaters, dancers, tennis players and boxers.
