Listening to Your Body: Don’t Wait until It’s Too Late

Make smart choices when it comes to listening to your body and its pain signals.
Maybe it’s not deep pain just yet, maybe it is a recurring stiffness in one knee joint or a dull ache that you feel like you can ignore in your lower back.
If it doesn’t get some bodywork and professional attention, it could turn into a bigger problem down the road.
You receive and feel these messages, because yes, your body sends signals and messages to your brain. Sometimes these messages come through louder or softer, but the messages are coming through.
It’s you who needs to pay attention.
By ignoring these messages, you do your body and health a huge disservice—you put off a healing massage treatment for one more day.
Attend to your body, get back on the path to proper care, and a healthy body awareness.
Make an appointment and visit a massage practitioner before more damage is done.
Don’t store up your pain and put off receiving a massage. Especially right now, here in the middle of traditional summertime in Seattle, when people are more physically active, and the thought of a day hike seems like a great idea, until your aching muscles the next day let you know you’ve neglected proper stretching and forgot about a stiff area full of lower back pain.
We live in a fantastic city. Seattle is amazing in the summer, and it wants us to open up and explore what it has to offer. To open your eyes to nature and urban exploring, you also need to move past the blind spots in your life.
See how even small steps made toward more healthy physical choices can have a large impact. When you think about it, caring for ourselves physically appears to be a blindside in our whole culture, if the obesity epidemic tells us anything.
I want you to pay attention and get involved in healthy movement and massage treatment before it is too late.
Begin by stretching, walking a short distance, try a beginner yoga class, and come to see someone like me—a healing massage practitioner who can do some deep work on chronic muscle and joint pain and free up areas that may have been locked up for months or years.
Listen to your body and begin taking care of it today.
