Craig,
I think regular massage therapy is critical for us aging athletes. The problem is knowing what you need and getting it from the therapist. I'm very specific with what I want, but way too many therapists just go ahead and do their normal routine regardless. I'm really lucky and have recently found a therapist through my PT who deals primarily with professional athletes (especially baseball pitchers) and really knows how to work on my shoulder girdle and arms. I do suffer a bit, however. I usually do it once a month, but i think every other week is ideal (although a bit expensive for a recent retiree like me). Good luck.
