Using massage as a self care tool may look different as lifestyle changes and challenges arise.
Massage
has been around since ancient times for one reason, it feels awesome. A warm, soothing touch invites one to really let go. To unwind and relax both their muscles and their mind. A nurturing relaxation massage offers safe- serenity. Allowing us to drift along, in a state somewhere between waking and dreaming. Bathed in comfort and nestled in lavender.
Today,
This may be a perfect asset to support your wellbeing through ongoing monthly or seasonal massages.
And Tomorrow,
We may instead turn to massage to support any number of health challenges. Especially those benefiting from increased blood circulation, increased oxygenation in the muscles and in the joints. A freer flowing lymph system. Reduced mental stress. Reduced muscle and fascia tension. These massages are more therapeutic in nature. The applied pressure, the length of the massage and any additional therapies such as heat, cold and CBD may be an asset.
Changing the dynamic and the end goals between a therapeutic massage and a relaxation massage is essential. Always choose a therapist who is dedicated to listening to your individual needs and the goals for your massage. Whether you are choosing a relaxation massage or a therapeutic massage, you are investing in your well being. Your massage should support that end goal.
Massage
Is the self care tool that continues to support us through numerous changes and many of life’s challenges.
