Sports massages may feel useful, but do they actually help with sore muscles and post-workout recovery?
Lockdown taught us to prioritise our health, and it shows: since gyms and studios have reopened, body and brain-loving strength training has been the most-booked class on ClassPass. New stats from the booking site show that people are eager to get their hands on kit that will help us build strength and resilience, and we’re here for it.
But with all of that training must come recovery, and ClassPass’s research shows that is’ massage we’re all turning to in order to ease those well-worked muscles. The treatment is the most commonly booked session for those who do strength training classes, so much so that for the first time ever the wellness practice has made the top 10 most booked sessions.
