Yes, massages. We all know about them but take too little advantage of this amazing tool.
While a general Google Search says that there are 7 types of massages: Swedish, Shiatsu, Deep Tissue, Hot Stone, Aromatherapy, Thai, and Sports, many therapists may tell you that there are probably numerous more.
Massages don't just help you relax, but they are a great tool to remind us to 'feel' our body again.
They can help you:
- Detox
- Destress
- Relax
- Release tension
- Reduce pain
Often times, they are best enjoyed in the evening times without any commitments afterward and plenty of room for you to just relax and maybe even go to sleep not too long after. Ideally, you shouldn't eat anything within 90 minutes prior to the start of your massage in order to have a better effect.
If you're not sure which massage type to go for, just ask your doctor or go with your intuition. My next one will be a lymphatic drainage massage.
Which one will be your next one?
If you don't have one scheduled, take this post as a sign, go ahead and schedule one, and tell us when it will be!
