Saw this quote on Etsy (not sure who owns/wrote it etc.) but I really liked it because it’s simple but does some up who massage is suitable for - EVERY body.
A lot of people still think that in order to need a then you need to play or take part in sports, which isn’t the case.
Our bodies and, particularly, our muscles do a lot of work - even in largely sedentary individuals - to carry out our daily activities or movement requirements. Moving from place to place, doing housework, walking to work, our jobs, looking after our kids or elderly relatives - are all activities which require movement and usage of the muscular system. The vast majority of us have a dominant side - a side which we use more than the other or a preferred side for lifting heavier objects etc. this, combined with our daily postures will eventually lead to muscle imbalances and could then lead to injuries.
Ever woken up with a stiff neck/shoulder on one side and thought “I must have slept funny, can’t think what else would have caused it 🤷♂️” well, that’s a sign of a potential imbalance and could be a more serious injury waiting to happen. Massage can help!
Ever had days where you just feel a bit stressed or easily agitated but can’t think of a reason why you’re so irritable? This could be a build up of stress caused by multiple factors - psychological stresses/worries, physical stresses, emotional stresses - all building up bit by bit, day by day without you knowing it or even being aware it’s happening. Massage can help!
Ever felt a niggling pain or discomfort that doesn’t seem to have a specific cause but doesn’t seem to go away? Knee pain, back pain, aching neck? Massage can help!
There are SO many things that a massage can help to remedy but, do you want to know a secret? is at it’s most effective when it’s used as a preventative measure - before you feel these symptoms!
I usually recommend the following frequency for massages:
Highly active: 1-2 weeks
Moderately active: 2-4 weeks
Sedentary (office workers, no regular exercise): 4-8 weeks
So make your well-being your priority for 2022!
