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 went anyway and it was a deep painful mofo of a massage. But I have consumed 3 liters of water and will take an epsom salt bath tonight before heading off to dreamland. I did swim about a thousand and did some sprints tonight and my shoulders and joints have never felt better. WOW. I will learn the results of my choice tomorrow night. Thanks for the pointers. I will let you know if anyone is curious.
