I lift weights, Do Squats, Deadlifts, etc. and I’m more of a powerlifter, I lift heavy and very low rep. No more than 5 reps. However, I got a massage and I noticed all these muscle knots in my muscles that were being massaged out. Also when the massuesse stepped on my back I heard a whole bunch of cracking, I guess that came from the squats and deadlifts I’ve been doing over time. I’m thinking about stop lifting weights it seems to me it messes up your posterial structure and decompresses your discs in your back. I’m being more flexibility minded now. I’m thinking of doing some stuff like Yoga, maybe, However, Can I gain strength through flexibility alone if I stopped hitting the weights as a hobby. Do people actually gain strength from flexibility?
My father has had back pain for yesrs, and i want to do something cool for him for father;s day. i thought about a massage chair, yoga lessons etc.? do these seem like good ideas?
I’m 15 and going in for my first massage ever. I’m going in for a deep tissue massage since I have a minor form or fibromyalgia in my left shoulder/back and neck due to a taekwondo injury. The massage will be given by an older man and I’m a bit worried. I know he’s a professional, but I still feel weird. I don’t know if I would have to take off much since it’s just in my upper back, and maybe I could still wear a sports bra? Is it okay that I feel this weird about it?
