Massage the day before a big meet (for me)

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 have a meet tomorrow and I got my massage on Wednesday at lunch. It was a "firm Swedish/light Sports" type massage and I had no soreness. But if you are in some pain/sore I wouldn't get it the day before like others have said. Good luck!
