Self-Care: Living a Healthy Life through Massage, Somatics, Exercise, Stress Management, and More
Do you want to live a healthy life, full of energy and free of most annoying aches and pains?
Learn options for taking care of yourself in the guide Self-Care: Living a Healthy Life through Massage, Somatics, Exercise, Stress Management, and More and choose approaches that works best for you. The book is written by a former massage therapist who has an ongoing interest in holistic healing.
Here's some of what you will learn:
- The benefits of massage therapy, self help tips to increase the benefits of receiving massage, using massage for pain relief, and self-massage techniques for those times when you just can't get to a massage therapist.
- How stress affects your body and ways to manage stress and relax more, even with a hectic life.
- What somatic education is and why it might just be what’s missing in your self-care program. What are the Feldenkrais Method, Hanna Somatic Education, and Body-Mind Centering, and how can they help you?
- Massage therapy and self healing help for common conditions, including headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder pain, back pain, and elbow pain.
- Why exercise is an important part of self care and tips to use to motivate yourself and maximize your workout.
- General health tips that require little effort.
Although juggling a career, family, and more is highly demanding and doesn’t often leave much time for self care, neglecting yourself damages both your physical and emotional health in the long run (and by extension the lives of people close to you). Ignore your body too long and you may find yourself not only with aches and pains but also with serious health issues that could have been avoided with some preventative self-care. This book will help you get started!
