Hi gang,
I'm curious about the benefits of getting a good massage on my shoulders and back today before I trudge down to New Orleans and swim in the season's last SCM meet. Is it wise to go deep? My shoulders really are in pain and I'd like to loosen them up. How much water, electrolytes should I consume post massage?
Anyone a pro here with this area of knowledge? I'm feeling great in the water but the shoulders are really sore due to some modified stroke changes.
Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't get one the day before a meet. I tried it once. My muscles were more sore right after the massage. I swam like CRAP.
Now, about 3 days later, I felt really good. If you aren't use to getting them on a regular basis, don't do it the day before a meet. Wait til it is over.
