The Arthritis foundation recommends massage to decrease stress and pain. Massage also relaxes a person’s muscles and can help improve flexibility.
While at the Los Cabos Dreams resort, JL and I went to the resort spa. I had the best Swedish massage of my life! When we walked into the spa, the mood music and soft lights set a “come and relax” tone to our visit. I was stretched, oiled, and rubbed by a masseuse named Cynthia.
After our massages, we spent time in the whirlpool, sauna and steam rooms. We truly relaxed. Afterwards I noticed I have more range of motion in my neck. I’ve come to realize I carry my stresses in my neck and shoulder. Muscles become more tight and flexibility decreases. Massage is not only pleasurable, but it’s a healthy practice that you can choose to add to your life. Enjoy.
