High intensity training means nothing if you cannot recover from it, that’s why I’ve teamed up with my newest sponsors, Peak Performance Massage in Madison and near Milwaukee in Burlington.

I’ve been using Peak Performance for the past 3 years now and I haven’t had one complaint yet. They have a variety of therapists (male and female) who offer almost every massage technique you are looking for. For example they offer, Swedish Massage, Geriatric Massage, Deep Tissue Massage (my favorite), Flush-outs before races, Trigger Point Massage, Sports Massage and more!

Besides feeling fresh before a race, massage can be a very powerful tool. From the Peak site, “Massage has proven to be beneficial in treating sleep disorders, high blood pressure, diabetes, lower back pain, immunity suppression, spinal cord injury, autism, post-operative care, age-related disorders, infertility, eating disorders, smoking cessation, and depression, as well as many other physiological benefits.”

If you live in the Madison or Milwaukee areas, you MUST give Peak Performance a shot, tell them I sent you! And if you’re looking for a great Deep Tissue Massage, try out Brianna (once she gets back from maternity leave). You’ll hate her during the massage, but love her after!

Thanks again to Meghan and her staff at Peak Performance Massage for being a GREAT resource to the triathlon and endurance communities!
