We\u2019ve figured out that pain is not random. Now that you\u2019ve figured out what is going on\u2026..what do you do?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 You have to start building a team! So let\u2019s go through <strong>some the big mistakes that people make when going to get a massage. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We all know that massage is immensely important in many different ways and the many benefits it can have. What we have to realize is when we go to get a massage we\u2019re not just \u2018checking out\u2019. You have to realize what your intentions are when you go. If you\u2019re going in just to check out, as long as you understand that beforehand, it\u2019s fine. However, if you are going in for help in a specific area, follow these 3 steps:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>If the therapist asks you what\u2019s going on, you do not want to say nothing and just tell them you\u2019re alright, then you\u2019re just going to end up getting a routine massage. That routine is going to be based off many different things and you\u2019ll be at the whim of the schooling of the therapist. I\u2019m not saying all therapists are bad, I\u2019m just saying you\u2019re not driving the train, so you can end up anywhere. For those who want to check out, that\u2019s perfect. When you allow a therapist to do whatever, unless they know you very well and they understand how your body\u2019s working, your body will just protect itself. You will end up checking out mentally, but your body will clam shut. Since it doesn\u2019t know or trust this person, it doesn\u2019t know if it\u2019s safe. Yeah we have spa music on, it\u2019s tranquil, but if you change that thought process and tell the therapist what to focus on, <em>then<\/em> your body\u2019s saying I have some direction and will start working with the therapist. I guarantee your therapist will thank you for it, whether the therapist knows it or not, that direction gives him a purpose, rather than him searching for one.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A7sAhcj26_E\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Now tell them exactly what you want to get done; don\u2019t clump it all into one area. Don\u2019t say, \u2018I hurt here, so just focus on this area\u2019 or \u2018So let\u2019s just do upper back\u2019 or \u2018Let\u2019s just do lower back\u2019. The body doesn\u2019t work like that. You want to allow the therapist to do extra work on the affected area and to also incorporate what\u2019s happening in other parts of the body. If not, your body will start to off balance itself and something else will clam shut because it\u2019s going to have to work harder. You want to think consistent balance; work as many areas as possible in the world of circulation, of kneading muscle tissue and all these different aspects of the greatness of massage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Incorporate stretching or any movement in a massage. The way that muscle tissue works is the more it moves, the more blood flow flushes through. So you\u2019re getting your massage\u2026you\u2019ve told the therapist exactly what you want\u2026if you don\u2019t allow that area to move during the massage all those latent toxins will just pool. Once you get up and start moving afterwards who knows how your body will react. If during your massage they stretch out areas they are working on, those parts will start learning how to open after they\u2019ve learned to contract. That\u2019s when your body says \u2018oh wait, this is a proper movement\u2019. It\u2019s so much more likely that the body will hold that movement pattern and say \u2018this is alright\u2019 as well as eliminate all those toxins that were flushed out in the first place.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Take Away:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So those are the three things I want you to focus on. One, don\u2019t go in without a plan unless you want to check out. Two, identify with your therapist specific problems you want addressed and not let them work on just that area. Three, do some stretching or movement work during the treatment. All three of those will get you better results with every single massage you do. If you\u2019re a massage therapist, ask for those things, focus on those things, because you\u2019ll get such better results.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully you\u2019re starting to piece things together, because all this is is data retention of knowing what is going on with yourself and other people. The more you start understanding others and yourself, you can start to notice things before they happen. You will start to see and know yourself and be able to pick yourself apart. This is key! Once you are able to achieve that you can preempt things and then you are no longer reacting to situations\u2026you are responding to them and now you are on the road to consistently being pain free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Common Mistakes of Massage &nbsp; So we\u2019ve been talking about getting clear and taking a path to eliminating pain.
