Getting a deep tissue massage combined with stretching before the MS150 ride isn’t just a luxury—it’s a performance and injury-prevention strategy.
First, deep tissue work targets the deeper layers of muscle and fascia where cyclists tend to build chronic tension—especially in the hips, glutes, hamstrings, lower back, and shoulders. Long hours on a bike create repetitive strain, which can lead to tight, shortened muscles and restricted movement. Breaking up that tension beforehand helps your muscles fire more efficiently when you ride.
Adding assisted stretching takes it further. Stretching after the tissue has been warmed and released allows for:
Improved range of motion → smoother pedal stroke, better power output
Reduced muscle stiffness → less resistance in each movement
Better posture on the bike → less strain on neck and shoulders
There’s also a big circulatory benefit. Deep tissue work increases blood flow and oxygen delivery, which helps “wake up” the muscles before a long endurance event. Think of it as priming your body instead of shocking it on ride day.
Another key advantage is injury prevention. Tight muscles pull unevenly on joints. When you combine deep tissue + stretch, you rebalance the body so there’s less risk of:
Knee pain
IT band irritation
Lower back strain
Neck and shoulder fatigue
And mentally, it matters too. It helps shift your nervous system out of stress mode and into a more focused, ready state, so you start the ride feeling loose, aligned, and confident—not stiff and reactive.
Bottom line:
Deep tissue with stretch before MS150 helps you ride longer, stronger, and with less pain—while reducing the chances that something tight or restricted turns into an injury halfway through the event.
