A tennis ball is good for more than a match! During this time when almost everything is shut down, many people that rely on massage for their aches and pains are left impatiently waiting for things to get back to normal. Self massage can be a great tool for times that you can't see a professional to work out your knots. Since many of us have some extra time on our hands, this is a perfect opportunity for some self care awareness that often gets overlooked in the hustle and bustle of everyday life.  Unfortunately, our body's needs do not let up just because we aren't able to make it to our massage therapy appointment!

The positive impact that stress management has on your health is well worth the effort!

During this Covid-19 era there has been a heightened sense of anxiety and stress and a lack of ability to continue our normal routines of self care that we desire and that we need. As we've discussed in past articles, there are multiple ways to self-massage to calm muscle tension. Although nothing compares to the hands and skills of  a professional body-worker, some relief can be found through self-massage care. As you break out the tennis balls and foam rollers to work out your knots, don't neglect the importance that mindful relaxation has on your health. The benefits are bountiful and lasting! Some mistakenly understand the pursuit of relaxation practices, including massage therapy, to be only a thing of luxury, something that is decadent, a treat to be h...
