​When was the last time you stretched before or after a workout? Stretching can prevent injury by increasing your muscle range of motion. However, stretching after a workout has the most benefit. Once the muscles are warm, they are less likely to tear or cause further injury. If you're feeling sore, massage can help by reducing or eliminating muscle pain. Having a regular massage appointment can help you maintain your range of motion and make you less prone to injury. In addition to improving your range of motion, massage can also help by:
· reducing muscle tension
· lowering joint pain
If you think you might be at risk for an injury, talk to me and schedule a massage.

​Have you been having a lot of neck or shoulder pain recently? Do you sit at a desk all day for work? Are you on your phone most of the day? These are all questions you should be asking yourself if you've been experiencing a lot of pain and don't know where it's coming from.  Poor posture can have several negative side effects such as sleeping or breathing problems, low back pain, and neck and shoulder pain. On the other hand, having good posture, especially while working, can make your healthier. 

One of the things you can do, while looking at a computer or a cellphone, is to look straight ahead, and read at eye level. If you bend your neck to read, this can cause text neck syndrome, and be a cause of pain. Many computer companies make monitors that can be raised higher for this purpose.

Having good posture can help with:

• lessen muscle strain
• lessen fatigue
• reduce stress and strain on your spine
• eliminates neck, shoulder and back pain due to poor posture

If you're feeling sore, massage can help by reducing or eliminating muscle pain.
