Here’s a little secret – most people wait way too long before booking their massage.
They come in only after weeks (or months) of nagging pain, stiffness, or poor sleep. By the time we see them, the issue is layered — one tight muscle pulling on another, or an old injury flaring back up because of compensation patterns.
Jen and I totally get it — life is busy. But one of the best things you can do for your body is not wait until something’s ‘bad enough.’
Regular massage
Regular massage is like brushing your teeth. It doesn’t have to be weekly, but a consistent rhythm keeps things flowing, manageable, and pain-free. You wouldn’t skip dentist visits until a filling falls out, right?
So, here’s our advice:
- Don’t wait for pain to be unbearable
- Listen to small warning signs (niggles, stiffness, fatigue)
- Think of massage as maintenance, not just crisis care
- Clients who come in before a race or tournament notice better movement, sharper focus, and less anxiety.
- Those who receive regular massage build mobility gains faster.
- And people who combine bodywork with strength or cardio routines reduce their risk of injury over time.
The One Massage Mistake We See All the Time
If you’re investing in your health through movement, massage is a smart way to protect that investment. It keeps you moving well, not just moving more.
If it’s been a while since your last session, take this as your sign. We’d love to see you and keep you moving with ease so that you can enjoy your life to the full – its never good being forced to step away from the things you want to do.
