What is the best time of day to get a massage?

If you're considering getting regular massages, you might be wondering about the best time of day to schedule them. While there's no universal rule, it depends on your specific needs, whether it's for athletic performance, stress relief, or injury rehabilitation. You can consult your massage therapist for their recommendation.

Here are some factors to consider when deciding on the timing of your massage:

Exercise before the massage: It's generally better to have your massage after you've exercised.

Sleepiness factor: If massages make you feel sleepy, schedule them as late in the day as possible so you can go straight home afterward.

Morning option: If you don't want the massage to take up much of your day, consider getting one early in the morning to feel rejuvenated.

After-work option: If you choose to schedule your massage after work, allow yourself to leave the office early to avoid feeling rushed.

Avoiding lunch breaks: It's not advisable to schedule a massage during your lunch break as it can lead to stress about being on time and needing to return to work immediately afterward, reducing the lasting effects of the massage.

Individual response: Everyone responds differently to massages, with some feeling sleepy and others feeling more energetic. Use your post-massage feelings to determine the best time for you.

Aftercare and relaxation: Choose a time when you won't be too busy afterward, ideally having an hour or so to relax and benefit from the effects of the massage. Consider the busiest times at the massage practice and try to avoid congestion, even if it means booking the first or last slot of the day.

Additionally, there are times when you should avoid scheduling a massage. If you have an acute and painful injury, it's best to stay away from the massage table for a while. It's also not recommended to get a massage if you've been drinking alcohol, have sunburn, or are dealing with an illness like a cold or the flu, especially if you have a fever.

Always inform your massage therapist about any medical issues or chronic diseases you have so they can tailor the treatment to suit your needs.

Dry autumn and Massage

Dry autumn is a season when the leaves change colors, and the weather gets cooler. During this time, people may experience muscle stiffness and joint pain. Massage therapy can help to relieve these discomforts, as well as reduce stress levels. It involves manipulating the muscles and soft tissues of the body, leading to a greater sense of overall wellbeing.

Massage can help improve blood circulation, leaving you feeling revitalized and energetic to welcome the cooler days ahead.

Dry has come, we are waiting for you.😀

Drinking warm water and massage

Drinking warm water and massage are two separate techniques that can each have their own therapeutic benefits.

Drinking warm water can help to promote hydration and aid in digestion. Warm water can also help to increase blood flow and promote relaxation. Some people believe that drinking warm water with lemon in the morning can help to detoxify the body and improve digestion.

Massage involves the manipulation of soft tissues to promote relaxation, reduce pain and tension, and improve circulation. Massage can be performed by a professional massage therapist or can be self-administered with tools such as foam rollers or massage balls.

Both techniques can contribute to overall wellness and relaxation. Some people may choose to drink warm water before or after a massage to help promote hydration and relaxation. Additionally, a warm compress can be used during a massage to help relax muscles and enhance the therapeutic benefits of the massage.

Know your feet, know your health

Your feet may seem like simple appendages that carry you from place to place, but they are actually complex structures that can provide clues to your overall health. In traditional Chinese medicine, the feet are believed to be reflective zones of the organs in the body, with different areas of the feet corresponding to different organs and systems.

Let your message therapist take a look at your feet, remember that they are not just a means of getting around, but a window into your overall well-being. By taking care of your feet and being mindful of any changes or discomfort, you can help ensure that you stay healthy and mobile for years to come.

How can your hands be the reflective zones of the organs in your body?

In traditional Chinese medicine, the hands are believed to be reflective zones of the organs in the body. This is because each finger is said to be associated with a specific organ, and changes in the appearance or texture of the hands can indicate imbalances or disorders in those organs.

By examining the hands and the appearance of each finger, practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine believe they can identify imbalances or disorders in the corresponding organs. It is important to note that this approach is a belief from the oriental wisdoms, and can be used as an auxiliary substitute for medical diagnosis and treatment.

Wisdom of the Oriental - Understanding how "Meridians" working well is important for your good health.

Meridians (经络) are channels in the human body that are responsible for the circulation of Qi (气) and blood, connecting the internal organs with the body's surface and all other parts of the body.

Meridians pe*****te both the internal and external aspects of the body, connecting the organs internally and the limbs, senses, muscles, skin, and other external features externally.

The theory of meridians views the human body as an indivisible whole, and a healthy body is one where Qi and blood flow smoothly through the meridians.

If there is flow, there is no pain. 通則不痛
If there is pain, there is no flow. 痛則不通

Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, it aims to promote internal balance and health by manipulating the lymphatic fluid and tendons in the body. These techniques help to stimulate the flow of lymphatic fluid, which plays a vital role in immune function and waste removal from the body.

By working on the tendons, Chinese massage also improves circulation, flexibility, and energy flow throughout the body, promoting overall health and well-being.

Pain and discomfort can arise when these systems are blocked, but Chinese massage can relieve these symptoms by smoothing out the flow of lymphatic fluid and promoting internal balance.
