Youre so tight and full of knots.
You should get massages more regularly.
Im someone whose body absorbs and holds onto all kinds of stress, tension, and pains.

Like anyone else, Id love a daily or even weekly massage.
However, logistically and financially, that just isnt feasible.
But recently I was introduced to new techniques during a wellness weekend atRancho Valenciain San Diego.
And it doesnt take long to reap the benefits.
One thing I hadnt expected were the after-effects of a lymphatic drainage massagei.e.
I felt less swollen, was thirsty, and had to pee.
Many students experience a thirsty sensation due to the excess/stagnant fluids being released from tissues, says Greenshaw.
Greenshaw also came around with her Theragun to help stretch us and get into the tight points.
From there, conclude with the chest, lower belly, and the hands once more.

Ever since the Theragun recovery class, Ive continued to incorporate a weekly 60-minute session into my schedule.
The 60-minute class is like getting a massage, so it is not necessarily every day, says Greenshaw.
If you’re free to spare even 10 minutes for the Theragun itll be beneficial for your recovery.
Its hard tooverdo it, though Dr. Wersland notes to keep the unit always moving and not stagnant.
Will I still opt for massages when possible?
However, in the interim, I will continue incorporating longer Theragun recovery sessions.
Because so far, its been a game changer.
