massage and bodywork professionals

a community of practitioners

I just came across a pretty cool blog from Earl Wenk, who is currently in London providing massage to Olympic athletes! Check it out here.

It's neat to see an inside perspective from an MT who's actually involved in the games. Do you know anyone who's in London right now for the Olympics?

This IS cool. It's interesting to see the "bodywork strategy" here and the planning required based on timing. From Wenk's "Olympics: Part 3" post:

Last night, he [the 1500-meter racer] qualified for the finals on Tuesday by finishing in the top five of his heat. He received a post-event massage at the Olympic village right after the event, and this morning, I again worked on his legs. But this time the pressure was be much lighter and we employed additional stretching and joint mobilizations to refresh his legs without risk of adverse effects for the big race.

 

 

Thanks for the link!!

Of course, glad you found it interesting too!
