Hi,Judi-
Absolutely- tell him to go for it! My husband has been getting massages for years. I had to first talk him into it, but once he did, he was sold.
He has a bed knee from an old injury; I encouraged him to incorporate strength training into his workouts (he has been swimming for over 20 yrs.), and the massages helped with keeping things loose- especially as we age!
He has had to stop the weights/strength training; but continues the swimming. But, I thought it important to continue massage, as she does some gentle passive stretching as well.
Just don't have her do deep-tissue massage, although if he has never had it before, she would start fairly light at first, and build up the pressure to his needs.
My husband really feels a benefit from this- both the relaxing of the muscles & the mind.
When he could no longer go to the spa, old building- big staircase- no elevator, his therapist offered to come to the house! This is even better- no driving to & from. He just stays in his robe the rest of the evening and relaxes!
Tell Eric to do it! It helps with those tight & sore muscles; will help to keep his ROM
(range of motion) and with regular massage, the overall effect of relaxation is terrific!
