LMTs, PTs, chiros…. We cannot get rid of 20 years of neglect in 20mins
just like you can’t go from black hair to platinum Blonde in one session -
it takes time to get HEALTHY results. One massage every year won’t fix all your pain.
Self care is better than aftercare.
Don’t neglect yourself this year
Instead of expecting miracles…
Please do your in-between self care: it’s pretty basic stuff —- stay hydrated with electrolytes, stretch those muscles, don’t sit with your wallet in your back pocket, don’t stand in heels all day, get your vitamins and minerals, eat healthy, and work in regulating your central nervous system
No amount of “deep tissue” (which is NOT the same as deep pressure but you can’t explain that to clients)will get rid of deep rooted emotions stored in the soft tissues!
And no amount of begging your therapist to “go deeper” will help if you’ve been neglecting yourself
Especially not within an hour.
You gotta marinate meat before slapping it on the grill.
Take care of yourselves everyone. We are healthcare providers but not miracle workers.
