Marin trail athletes manage the cumulative physical demands of a serious outdoor training life with sophisticated recovery protocols. The luxury zero gravity massage chair is the tool most of those protocols are missing: the daily direct manual therapy session that addresses the specific tension patterns trail running and cycling create - available every evening, in the home, without scheduling. Rejuvatec ships to Belvedere. Call (561) 782-5289 or order online.
Trail running on Mount Tamalpais and the Marin Headlands produces IT band, hip flexor, and lumbar tension that foam rolling addresses partially and stretching addresses incompletely. The reason: the fibrous adhesions and chronic tension patterns that develop in heavily used tissue require direct mechanical pressure to release – the same pressure that a skilled sports massage therapist provides and that the SL-track rollers of a luxury massage chair deliver systematically to the gluteal, lumbar, and hip regions that trail running loads most significantly. Cycling adds the upper back and neck component: the forward riding position and sustained handlebar grip produce cervical, upper thoracic, and trapezius tension that most cycling recovery protocols address least adequately. The cervical rollers of the SL-track address exactly that area – working from the base of the skull down through the upper thoracic in the pattern that reverses cycling’s characteristic postural load.
The Belvedere trail athlete who finishes a long run or ride, showers, eats, and then sits in the luxury massage chair for 25 minutes before sleep has built the most complete post-training recovery sequence available for a home without a full-time therapist. The cold plunge addresses acute inflammation. The infrared sauna addresses deep tissue thermal recovery. The massage chair addresses the specific tension patterns the activity created through the direct mechanical therapy that no other tool replicates. Sleep that follows this sequence is qualitatively different from sleep that follows activity without it. Read about luxury massage chairs for trail athletes and cyclists.
