I have been involved in endurance athletics my entire adult life, as well as serious recreational tennis. In the past, to coax the "knots" out, I sought a therapist with very strong hands to apply some serious pressure to the tissue to remedy the situation. This process is not pleasant, but I was always told it was necessary. Tracy is the first therapist to achieve the same results, but without the beating! She uses skill and placement to relieve the muscle structure and puts me to sleep nearly every time. When I leave, the tight, bundled knots are gone and I don't have to take anti-inflammatoreis to recover from the "therapy"! If you want the deep tissue result, without the uncomfortable process, see Tracy.
