totally guilty of all of these up until a month ago. What’s your favorite way to depend on massage therapy and bodywork?
As always, no shame, no guilt, just awareness.
Ways We Depend on Massage
- Going regularly. I’m talking every 1-4 weeks kind of regular. When you feel the tension coming, but you know you have that appointment scheduled so you wait to have them fix it for you.
- Not doing the stretches, exercises, or foam rolling consistently then wondering why the massage “isn’t lasting”. Then scheduling even more frequently.
- Sleeping during your massage sessions or using it as an escape.
- Using massage as a way to continue bad habits instead of facing them head on. If your body feels good after massage, then maybe that 10 hours in front of a screen isn’t that bad after all.
- Using massage to only address the physical aspects of pain and avoiding the emotional, mental, spiritual, and energetic reasons.
I have been so guilty of all of these. Up until 1 month ago, I was doing every single one. There is never any judgement and these things aren’t “bad”. As I do with the clients on my table, I am bringing awareness. Any tough ones you see on the list?? What did I miss?
