I have a very sore hip/hip flexor muscle (I think?!?). I would like to get a deep tissue massage to work it out, but under the no new is good new advice, am not sure I should do so this week (right before the marathon). Please advise as soon as possible as I would have to schedule it today or tomorrow. Thanks!
