What To Do After Your Massage

After your massage you feel great. You go home, relax, hang out with your family or pets, go to bed pain-free and happy. How can I hang on to this feeling you ask? It's very simple. Stretch! We go through our day stuck in a desk,curled up in front of the computer screen, driving all hunched over, slouching at the dinner table, carrying our children on one hip,lifting things that would make Governor Arnold wince, But we seldom stop and take time for ourselves to back away and stretch. Do you remember how good it feels to reach for the sky? Do it now. Raise your arms up take a deep breath and stretch. Take your time. Breath deeply. Stretch the right, then the left. Now stand up and stretch your legs,make a funny yawning noise and see if any of the people around you follow suit. See, Now your popular. Notice the subtle changes in your breath? Do you feel more relaxed? You should. Stretching is our natural way of relaxing tight joints and bathing our skeletal system with fresh blood and oxygen. It is a great way to extend the benefits of massage and chiropractic care. It is also a good way to begin to make lifestyle changes for yourself. Use stretching as a reward. Eat well, drink lots of pure water, listen to your mom and eat those veggies! Add a multi-vitamin to your daily routine and go for a walk 30 minutes a day. Little things add up to a healthy happy you! Start stretching today!(remember to check with your doctor before starting any exercise routine.)
