Self-Care Until You Can Get a Massage Again

Self-Care Tips Until You Can Get a Massage Again

How are you taking care of yourself during this strange time? Are you like me, and you can’t work while social distancing? Or are you working overtime in-person or from home at an essential job (thank you for all you do!)? Either way, massage businesses have been shut down until April 30^th, as well as other types of businesses that offer in-person pain management, stress reduction, exercise, recreation and social connection. So how are you taking care of yourself during this time of social distancing?

Over the next few weeks until I can see your beautiful faces again, I’ll be sending you some ways you can take care of yourself until you can get a massage (or a chiropractic adjustment or attend a yoga class or get acupuncture, etc.) Besides the basic ways you probably already know – get plenty of sleep, stay hydrated, eat more fruits and veggies and less sugar, get some sunshine everyday – I’ve got some ideas that will help you manage pain, stress, digestion issues, painful periods and more.

Tip #1 – Use the Internet for Wellness
