So my local spa had a special right now for an hour long massage for 37.50. It's a phenomenal deal and got me thinking...
Would a massage 2 or 3 days before a show be beneficial or detrimental to posing on stage?
On one hand I could see it loosening the muscles, increasing blood flow and what not. On the other, I fear post massage related soreness affecting performance.
Anyone have experience with massage before a show and what was your take on its efficacy?

I guess I was under the impression that the massage would increase blood flow to the muscles and actually DECREASE inflammation by shuttling much needed nutrients to the muscle fiber. Of course, I was going on what I thought was logical and I have no scientific basis for this thought. Glad I consulted before I made the reservation
