Healthy Balance Message Therapy is a supporter of Shooting Star.  Laura Kelley a Registered Message Therapist in Windsor is a great resource for discussing issues regarding muscle tension.  She worked with a couple of our players to go over proper static stretching techniques.  See stretches in the following links:

Upper Body
Lower Body 
Core & Lower Back 

Often we are not in ideal situations for warm up and cool down, travelling in cars etc.  Young players are growing into their bodies and learning to understand what their bodies need.  Static stretching is one small way to keep muscles stretched when not in a gym to keep body loose.

Laura can be contacted at 792.1506 or at laurak-s@hotmail.com for therapuetic message treatments.
