What is your experience with massage therapy?  What would life be like if you could just stop for a little while and let yourself relax?  Do you find yourself looking for other ways to unwind and reduce pain without relying on drugs?

Massage Therapy is a Lifesaver

It is important to take time for yourself so that you can be healthy enough to cope with stress and handle the everyday challenges of life.  There are so many ways to deal with stress and pain but today I will talk about one of my favorites…Massage Therapy.  My life changed when I started going for massages. It really did! I was suffering from a back injury for a while in my late twenties. I was at the end of my rope with the medical community not being able to help me. 

During my visits with a chiropractor,  I was encouraged to go for massage therapy to help reduce the pain and increase my mobility.  Feeling horrible most of the time, I also needed something to boost my mood and calm down my nerves. So this is when I started my journey with massage therapy and I would soon start to feel better both physically and emotionally.

Although the pain lasted a while, I can say that going for regular massages helped me tremendously. Besides putting me on the road to recovery, it helped me find my purpose and inspired me to look into massage therapy school. Here I am 15 years later and I absolutely love my job and enjoy having a successful business based on my purpose in life- helping others with stress and pain live life to the fullest.

I could go on and on about how great massage therapy is. I want to share my top reasons why I still go to this day and why I truly believe massage therapy is a must-have in everyone’s wellness plan.
