Do you workout ? Do you stretch before and after? Do you get massages? You should ALWAYS warm up your muscles before you stretch them and workout . Whether your a walker, runner or gym goer your muscles need to be stretched on a daily basis. Your muscles need massages regularly as well. A once a month maintenance massage is in order. Bi-weekly massage is even better!

Do YOU know why your muscles need to be stretched? 🤔 Stretching conditions your muscles for working out . Therefore your muscles will move more efficiently. First warm up for 10 minutes by doing jumping jacks on the spot. If your in the gym ride on a bike for 10 minutes or walk on the treadmill for 10 minutes. 😊

By stretching after the warm up you increase your flexibility , and mobility. You will improve your posture and balance. Are you athletic? Or a professional athlete? Then it will improve YOUR athletic performance for sure! Do you have TENSION, STRESS and ANXIETY? Stretching will dramatically reduce it ! Massages are recommended weekly for athletes. Stretching is NOT hard…. JUST DO IT ! 👏

Ok also if you feel sore or exhaustated after your workout try to incorporate massages into your lifestyle. Massages can help boost your workouts to get the results you want! It’s a win win situation! 😁 Who doesn’t LOVE a massage ? ❤

Are you one of the many women near menopausal pre or post stage? STRESS ? Are you suffering with mood swings ? Hot flashes? Headaches? Memory lapses? Sleep deprivation? Muscle tensions ? 😣

Well it’s evident we DON’T get a free pass on passing the menopausal stage in life! When it comes to me I want to say “Return to sender !” 🤣 From what I hear from many women it’s a Pain in THE ass! It can wreak havoc on women if they don’t know how to handle it. 😐

Did you know MASSAGES can help? 🤔

Massage is the nurturing touch you need right now. It will help you loosen up and RELAX ! Massage will help relieve those headaches and your built up stress. It will help your muscle and joint pain. If your feeling blue I guarantee massages will be your new best friend 😁

HAHAHA 🤣 of course NO one wants a headache PERIOD! If you ever suffered from headaches then you know how painful they can be ! 😣 I don’t know about you BUT when I get a headache I just want to lay down quietly… waiting for it to subside. Ain’t nobody got time today for a “HEADACHE! “

Headaches are annoying and SERIOUSLY an inconvenience! So do you know what can help you with those headaches? Naturally? MASSAGE! 😁

A soothing massage can reduce muscle pain and tension. Massage will improve your oxygen, and circulation flow. A trained Licensed Massage Therapist will usually massage your neck, shoulders and head. This will absolutely WILL promote relaxation for you! Get a massage and get that pounding in your head to stop ! 💆‍♂️

Ok so most people REALLY don’t what kind of massage they need. A Swedish massage is with light to medium long strokes. It is combined with kneading and friction techniques. It helps increase circulation and promote relaxation in your body. 😊

Now deep tissue is same as Swedish but deeper and sometimes can be intense. Also deeper is NOT always better! Deep tissue works in your connective tissue and through the deeper layers of your skin breaking up adhesions, knots and scar tissue.😁

Not sure what you need? A Swedish massage is good IF your stressed out from work or your home life. It will help relieve those stressors. A deep tissue is good IF your in chronic pain. It can be in different muscle groups. A trained skilled massage therapist can also customize a massage for your benefits. 💆‍♂️

Have you ever thought to yourself… A massage needs to be real deep to be effective ? Surprisingly alot of people think this. “NO pain NO Gain! ” No this is NOT the gym and this doesn’t apply to Massage either! Funny thing is that the massages that work for you are NOT the deepest! 😊

Deep Tissue is NOT for everyone! If your a professional athlete or gym goer this can be for you! May be that’s why alot of people are scared of massages? Maybe they think the therapist is going to dig deep and it’s going to hurt? 🤔

With a good Massage Therapist they will address your muscle problems and pains. They are just not gonna go in for the kill so you can’t breathe… lol! 😆 It’s normal to have some mild discomfort at times in your massage IF the therapists needs to dig in. Just be sure to communicate with your massage therapist during your massage.

A massage should be enjoyable! Certainly there are times to dig in to loosen up knots in the muscles. But you shouldn’t be bruised or in pain for days later either! 😣 Sometimes ALL YOU need is a soothing relaxing MASSAGE! 😉

Ok so the massage is over and your feeling AWESOME! The pain is gone and so is your stress… for now anyways. We all want that relaxation feeling to last… so how can we do that? 🤔

Let’s help you maintain that wellness as long as possible after your massage. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Exercise so your muscles stay active and help relieve tension.

Keep your body nourished by eating healthy foods. Eat more veggies and fruits. Smoothies and fresh juices provides your body with more nutrients. This will help you fight stress and strain in your body. Avoid processed foods and especially sugar! 😉

Finally keep getting REGULAR MASSAGES! Every day you spend restless hours at work , school or wherever. In order for you to stay focused and stress free you need to have a massage! Those effects of one massage may last for hours, days or even a week. Too bad that feeling wasn’t permanent RIGHT?! 😄
