As a massage therapist you learn about the functions of the body, the mind body connection, how your lymph and facia work for you or against you and how wonderfully relaxing a massage is. We all need some TLC, but I was not taught this until I became a massage therapist. I didn’t know about ‘takeing a rest’. Even though Jesus did, I didn’t think I needed too. This is foolish and also harmful to our bodies. Our body is a tool and it needs a tune up and a break from stress. One can not go and go and go and go for 40 years like I did, and not expect a crash. Take good care of yourself now, before it’s too late.
