In this episode of Talk Your Abs Off, I dive into the power of recovery and how massage, myofascial release, and stretching can help you feel and perform your best. Whether you’re lifting weights, running, or simply trying to move through daily life without feeling tight and sore, this conversation will help you understand what your body truly needs to recover well.

My guest Jason Freel, a licensed massage therapist, breaks down the real benefits of different types of massage and how they support strength training, flexibility, and muscle recovery. We talk about why massage isn’t just about relaxation, how often you should actually be getting bodywork, and what role stretching plays in keeping your body balanced. You’ll also learn how myofascial release works, why fascia matters for mobility and movement, and what to watch out for if you tend to overstretch or have hypermobility.

If you’ve ever wondered why your muscles still feel tight even when you’re stretching all the time, this episode will give you the clarity and tools to recover smarter. We share simple, practical tips you can use between sessions to maintain results, reduce soreness, and improve your range of motion. This is the perfect listen for anyone looking to build strength, prevent injury, and move better, without overcomplicating recovery.

At the end, we wrap up with easy ways to incorporate massage and mobility work into your daily routine so you can feel stronger, looser, and more connected to your body.
