In the 8 years that I have been doing massage, there is one question that I have continually asked myself. Why do people wait so long to get a massage when they are in constant pain?? Whether it is the ache in your lower back from shoveling the snow a couple weeks ago, or the pain in your neck from sitting at your desk staring at the computer all day, pain is not normal and it is your body’s way of telling you “I am not happy.”
I always suggest coming in for a treatment as soon as your start to experience the most basic symptoms. It is better to get to the bottom of the problem early then to wait until it is unbearable. Early treatment can get you back on track quickly; waiting could mean that even with treatment it could take weeks for you to feel better.
Getting treatments on a consistent basis will help to ensure that your body stays in proper working order. A 30-minute massage every couple of weeks will help your body stay healthy and keep you doing everything that you love. Take the time to listen to your body… what is yours telling you??
