How Massage Benefits Golf
Massage has many benefits including improved circulation , muscle relaxation and pain relief.

If a muscle is stiff because of a long day on the course, getting oxygenated blood to the area improves the condition rapidly.With your golf muscles relaxed they will function efficiently, reducing the risk of "strain," and producing consistently better shots.

Anytime you have pain, you're not maximizing your golf swing. Instead you're making a modified swing that guards against the pain, which of course makes a big difference when you're trying to hit the ball. When you have an injury, or experience pain, those muscles shut down and other muscles kick in to help the injured ones. It's hard to swing well if you have aches and pains.

When you are stressed, you're often unconsciously clenching your shoulders and arms. This is counterproductive to the normal motion of the joint and tight muscles severely restrict your golf swing. Because massage reduces anxiety and gives the sense of well-being, this allows the golfer to stay relaxed and swing more fluidly. Being relaxed and feeling good allows one to play better.

Post-round massage increases circulation in the muscle tissues, helping to prevent build-up of harmful "fatigue" products resulting from strenuous exercise and competition.
