Thaimassage before gymnastic training

Hi, is there any drawbacks or dangers?

 

Thanks.

Depends on the intensity and volume of the massage, but if it is just a relaxation type of massage, then go by how you feel. After a more serious rehab massage containing spinal manipulation etc. it is not recommended to work out.

 

As a side note it is good to acknowledge that massage-induced relaxation can acutely make you prone to injury, so working out harder stuff should possibly be avoided 

Never get a massage before training; always after.
