What are you doing to take care of your body?

Hey everyone Mandie here. So I want to talk about what are you doing to take care of your body?
Many of us are going day to day with pain in our neck, shoulders, back from too many hours at an office desk or at your work.

PAIN can be caused from any motion you do in your life, whether it's staying completely still or actively moving weight. What do you do to manage your pain?

Do you ICE the hurting area for 10-15 minutes at a time?
Do you take relaxing HOT SALT BATHS to ease muscles?
Do you GET UP & MOVE at work to keep blood and oxygen flowing through those constricted muscles?
Do you STRETCH at all during the day? Both ACTIVE (moving stretch like wind mills) & STATIC (holding the stretch for 10seconds)
Do you take a TENNIS BALL or LACROSE BALL and use it to do MOBILITY WORK?
Do you EXERCISE 3-5 times a week?
Do you get MASSAGED @ LEAST 1 TIME A MONTH?

OR

Do you take PAIN MEDICATION to bandaid the pain?
Do you IGNORE the pain?
Are you HOPELESS to get the pain to go away?

When we don't keep our bodies moving the way they are intended to then our muscles shorten and toxins and lack of blood flow occur in our muscles. We develop constrictive knots in our once smooth pliable muscle layers. Before you know it you have pain in all kinds of forms: tingling, sharp, needle like, spasms, referring, achy, dull...PAIN!!!

Here is what MASSAGE can do for YOU:

Alleviate LOW-BACK PAIN and improve RANGE OF MOTION.

Assist with shorter, easier LABOR for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays.

Ease MEDICATION dependence.

Enhance IMMUNITY by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system.

Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.

Help ATHLETES of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.

Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the SKIN.

Increase joint FLEXIBILITY.

Lessen DEPRESSION and ANXIETY.

Promote tissue regeneration, reducing SCAR TISSUE and STRETCH MARKS.

Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving CIRCULATION.

Reduce postsurgery adhesions and swelling.

Reduce SPASMS and CRAMPING.

Relax and soften injured, tired, and OVERUSED MUSCLES.

Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body's natural PAIN KILLER.

Relieve MIGRAINE pain.
