Three locations are convenient to the Washington DC area. The Center, 4321 Wisconsin Avenue, entrance on Windom Place (2 blocks south of the metro on the Red line). The Georgetown Running Company, 4461 Willard Avenue, Chevy Chase (at the Friendship Heights metro on the Red line) and 706 Roxboro Road, Rockville (1.5 miles from the Rockville metro on the Red line). More than 3,000 clients see us a year, mostly athletes at all levels. We have developed the perfect combination of ART, AIS, Deep Tissue and Sports Massage for absolute Stress and Tension Relief to help the athlete stay injury free and recover quicker. We do a series of assessments including a postural assessment, gait analysis and a bio mechanic overview looking for Muscle Imbalances, Inflammation and the Root Cause of the athlete's pain or condition. We emphasis the importance of informed strength training and conditioning to correct any imbalances and weakness the athlete has in tandem with their training, working with qualified strength and conditioning coaches and trainers for the very best results.
Our approach to massage is
best experienced in tandem with the athlete's
training. We develop a Plan of Action and work
closely with other professionals to give a
holistic approach to help the athlete achieve
his or her performance goals. There is a
substantial discount when the athlete agrees to
a series of sessions since the training plan
informs our work. We can talk more about how we
can best meet your needs on a regular,
affordable basis.
Attended the Lake Placid Iron Man and worked with the ART treatment team 2 days leading up to the race as well as race day. I followed my client, Suzanne Kinsky there and was able to work on her before the race where she finished in 12:56, placed 45th out of 100 in her age group of 30-34 women. This was her first marathon and she was able to get to the start of this major endeavor injury free as we worked on a regular basis leading up to the race. It was a real pleasure to be there and help her and others.

Terrel, at the Cherry Blossom 10 mile
race
Invited with his wife to participate in a monthly stride clinic
sponsored by the Montgomery County Road Runners Club (MCRRC) where they
assist in the evaluation of running strides and running related
injuries working with a team of coaches, podiatrists, physical
therapists and others who provide advice on how to avoid injury and

Team Snapple
"Terrel Hale has been a great asset for
Team Snapple. Racing well is all about hard work and consistency in
training. Since I started working with Terrel, I've been virtually free
of the nagging injuries that used to require additional rest or easy
days for rehab. Over time, the more consistent work is paying off, and
my training is progressing better than ever. I've also been able to
more consistently add an additional hard day of training to my typical
week. In the past, my power numbers would dip during the second hard
ride of the week, and the training benefits would be reduced. With
Terrel's help I've been able to sustain a higher power output. The
fitness gains as a result have been huge. Rapid recovery has to be a
priority for any athlete who is serious about improving. Working with
Terrel can be a key element of those efforts."
