After my first Rock n Roll 1/2 marathon, it was funny to watch so many of us waddle out of the Light Rail station. My girlfriend, Kitty Burris, and I visited Doo Bal Ro Reflexology in Federal Way for THE best tea foot soak and 1 hour foot massage. $25. Can I say…. Ahhh?!! My feet, calf, or shin pains were gone.
But the next day my hamstrings, quads, and hips were so tight that it was difficult to climb stairs. My Foam Roll was a life saver! Think of it as a rolling pin for rock solid stiff muscles… ouch!! I used it for an hour and a half & then magically I could walk like an upright human again. Drink water after using it, just like after a massage you must flush out the built up lactic acid the muscles released.
Resource:
Foot Massage- Doo Bal Ro 253-661-0063 33120 Pacific Hwy. So. #6 Federal Way, Wa. 98003
Foam Rolls- Road Runner Sports in Kent around $20. I prefer the 6in diameter. Traditional foam rolls break down with use, especially if you are using it for both balance exercises and self massage. Check out the newer model click here.
