Have you ever experienced sore muscles before? Do you get regular massages? If not why not massage ? I’m sure some time in your life you have or perhaps even right now? What causes that ? Muscle soreness can be attributed to alot of things. It can be due to stress or tension in your body. Maybe you just started working out in a gym? If so you could wake up the next day feeling pain from hell! I know the feeling … not fun! You may have overworked your muscles to the point of exhaustion. Of course if that’s the issue you have inflammation as well. Been there done that too! Maybe your just fatigued and tired in your body ? 🤔

Whatever the reason is how can you get the muscle soreness to go away? One way is to ice the sucker real good . Then stretch out the aggravated area or areas. If this doesn’t seem to work I would highly recommend a massage! I personally DON’T understand why people live in pain when they DON’T have to! Get a therapeutic massage by a professional massage therapist who knows what they are doing! You might need a few sessions of massage depending on where your sore areas are. A licensed Massage Therapist who is skilled can help you! 😁

I know so many complain about the price of a massage. Look at it this way… Do YOU want to have the muscle soreness linger on and on ? Or DO you seriously want RESULTS to relieve the muscle soreness? To me it’s a NO brainer! I personally wouldn’t want to have that muscle aching more and more. It would drive me crazy! Trust me I know I have dealt with it before! I would be the first one seeking out massage as I know the results I would get ! Ask yourself … are you worth it? You work hard and how can you perform on the job or at home IF you have muscle soreness? Suck it up buttercup and GET A MASSAGE ASAP! You will THANK me later! 💆‍♂️💆‍♀️❤😁

As people age they tend to have more aches and pains in their body. It’s absolutely NO secret that you will feel more stiff and sore. Calling ALL seniors… did you know that MASSAGE therapy can help soothe your sore muscles? It can absolutely help you with your day to day pain and discomfort you feel.

I know it sounds crazy right?! You probably think what the heck is she talking about? 🤣 Car and Massages?

Well let me break it down for you… how many shop for a used car? What do you think it’s important to look for? Is this car had regular maintenance? Regular oil changes? Well seriously is it reliable ? So when you buy it I bet you do all those things to it right? 🤓 Ok so now when it comes to your own body why don’t you take care of it ? 🤔 There’s NO better way to maintain your body then getting regular massages! This is absolutely ONE of the best ways to accomplish this. MASSAGE ! ❤

Massage is constantly being used for treating a variety of medical conditions. There are so many studies out there that proves that Massage Therapy can benefit you greatly! Massage prevents illness. It also prevents muscle pain and injury. If you workout you definitely need regular massages! It just amazes me that people DON’T seek out Massage therapy until they are in pain. I meet clients ALL the time that wait until they are in pain before they call. Most of them get back pain, neck and shoulder pain. It could be from sitting at a desk too long or working out hard. There is many different scenarios that happen. Sound Familiar? Massage Time !

People could absolutely avoid all this unnecessary pain by maintaining good health thru regular massage sessions. Massage is like the oil in your car. If you don’t do regular oil changes your car can break down or blow the engine. Massage helps your body work at the max by detoxing your immune system. It reduces your stress hormones. Your immune system works better by fighting off flu and cold viruses. Massage circulates blood through your body bringing all the needed oxygen and nutrients to your muscles and organs. Your lymphatic system also helps by draining all the body toxin junk out of your system.

Regular massages should be a part of your healthy regime of staying healthy and well! You change the oil in your car regularly so get massages regularly for your body to perform at its best! 😊

I know I know ladies LOVE their high heels 👠 whether it be your stiletto or 1 inch heels. Women just like to look sexy and feel powerful and in charge with heels. I truly understand the reason for wearing them. But on the other hand as a Massage Therapist I know what it can do to your body. Are you even aware of what happens to your body physically by wearing heels ? 🤔 You definitely need a massage!

So your feet are designed to physically support your whole body. When you wear that heel ladies you are shortening your Achilles tendon. This is the largest tendon in your body . See now it’s prone to injury now since it’s limited to blood supply. Also the pressure you exert on it while you wear you high heel shoes. When your foot is in your high heels.. it is pointing downward. This is in a state of constant plantar flexion. This causes the muscles in your calves to become shortened and very stiff. Those sexy heels are helping you push your center of gravity in your body in a forward position. This now causes your spine and hips to go out of alignment. 😣 Anyone hear about massages? HELLO!

So if you are not going to give up your heels I can promise you that you will have pain. It can be ankles, legs and lower back. It can actually affect a lot of areas. So what can you do to fix this ? A MASSAGE! Limit the time you wear them ! Use flats to walk to work and go home. If your feet are hurting at work then massage them and wear flats! Ask yourself… 😉
Is it worth to put the stress on your muscles and joints trying to balance in those heels?🤔 NOW is the time for a massage and stretching!

Also probably the number #1 thing I can suggest to you is to STRETCH! Stretch those calf muscles out before and after wearing heels. I’ll give you an easy stretch you should use everyday to help your Achilles tendon and calves. It’s called a wall stretch.

1. Face the wall with your left foot forward and your right foot stepped back about a foot. Keep both feet flat on the ground.

2. Brace yourself with your palms against the wall.

3. Bend your left knee and straighten your right one.

4. Lean yourself into the wall toward and bend your left knee until you feel a stretch in your right Achilles . Hold for 30 seconds.

5. Now repeat on the other side. Do a few sets on each side till you feel the release. The tightness should be gone .

Of course ALWAYS get a massage to loosen up all those tight muscles! 💆‍♂️💆‍♀️

Give as much feedback to your MASSAGE Therapist or give nothing at all. Some people will just be micromanagers and will tell the Massage person about every itch and twitch! Some are stoic sufferers who won’t speak up even if the Massage is too deep. They will just lay there and take it! Of course IF the licensed massage therapist asks you questions.. ANSWER! As Massage Therapists we want you to be comfortable with us during your massage. We don’t want you to FEEL uncomfortable. It is in your best interest to do what suits YOU! Otherwise if being quiet suits you well then be perfectly content to ENJOY your Massage! 😪😪😪

The bottom line here is it’s your dollars you are spending. YOU should be getting out of the Massage what you need. A good practitioner of massage will welcome feedback. It helps THEM to help you get the best massage possible. Of course there is the exception to the rule . There is some AMAZING massage therapists who ARE just really gifted! If you come across one of them keep them… as they are rare finds! 😄

IF you FEEL you aren’t getting the Massage you want, then feedback is important. More or less pressure in particular is worth conveying to your therapist. Also IF you want a particular area worked on say so! Say “Hey My lower back is hurting can you please work on that first?” Then when it’s loosened up then my neck AND shoulders if there’s time?” Easy simple just ASK ! 😉

If your a complainer COMPLAIN! We will do everything we possibly know to fix it. I seriously for one have been amazed of ALL the positive feedback I get from people who “complained” the whole time! The complaining is just part of their therapeutic process. The Massage wouldn’t of been as good to then if they never complained with what was bothering them ! I just listen and let it go as they always return! Lol! 🤣

Some people like small talk while others prefer deep emotional talks. Then some are quiet as a mouse. Most people vary within and between their massage sessions. A seriously good Massage Therapist WILL actually follow your lead. So really it’s up to YOU how you feel about feedback. 😁
