All those long training miles and hard sprints making you tight and stiff? Why not relax and soothe those sore muscles with a good massage?

If you don’t have a massage therapist already, we’d like to suggest Active Therapy Clinic. Sonia Picard and Nena Kennedy are both registered RMTs and have ample experience with cyclists and athletes. They are located at 298 Mill Road (just off Elmwood Drive), 389-9152

Nena has kindly provided Fitworks for Girls with an article highlighting the benefits of massage for cyclists. Click HERE to visit the article.

Here’s a little background on Nena:
