I mentioned in a previous post that I get massages frequently. Well today was my day to have my weekly massage. This one was much needed. Working out hard and playing racquetball has had its toll on my body. It seems I can't train as hard as I once used to. This is hard to except, since I love being active and working out. So having a massage once a week had given more of a realization what is needed for my body to stay healthy.

My Massage therapist focused on my upper body today and boy did i feel it, in a good way. The reason she massaged that area exclusively was because of my recent pain in my shoulder, back and upper arm area. Playing racquetball all out every time probably hasn't helped with healing my shoulder and lifting weights like I'm 21 yr again I'm sure has contributed to my pain.

What I'm trying to say is get in tune with your body and know when too much is enough. The pain and injuries aren't worth it. I recommend to anyone who has injuries, pains, or just needs to relax, try a massage. It's the only way to go. Learn how to mediate and visualize during your massage. You'll be surprised at what you see.
