Can anyone recommend a good local place for a post-Ironman massage? I would like someone familiar with sport-specific massage therapy.

I haven't used her, but I've heard good things and when I finally use up all my Massage Envy "credits" I'm going to use her. So...let me know, if you use her, how she is.

The term "sports massage" really only applies immediately before, or after, an event. Once days have passed it becomes a "maintenance" massage or something else. Any good massage therapist should be able to identify the muscles and areas that need attention.

Chiropractic clinics tend to have therapists that are less focused strictly on relaxation. Find one near you and see if they offer a first-time discount. I would recommend a 90 minute session. Be very clear with the therapist about what you want them to focus on (e.g. hamstrings, calves, feet, lower back, shoulders, etc) or if the list is too long tell them "I don't care about my arms, please focus on my legs" etc.

I wouldn't recommend a very deep tissue massage right now. You muscles have been through hell.

They are comfortable, but on longer runs the ball of my foot starts to heat up. I actually had to STOP, take off the shoe, massage my foot. This would help for a while, but the pain usually returned.
