Your body warns you long before it hurts

Hot stones for fatigue, deep tissue for knots, Nirvana Relaxing for stress: a short guide. The problem is that we almost never pay attention: we keep staring at the screen, clench our jaws and let our shoulders creep up to our ears.

These are the five signs we see most often in the treatment room. A well-timed massage defuses them before they turn into a knot, and one hour is almost always enough.

“Don't wait for your back to lock up: the best massage is the one that comes before the pain.”

1. Headache at the end of the day

Tension headaches often begin in the neck and at the base of the skull. A weekly head massage reduces their frequency.

2. You wake up more tired

A tense muscle doesn't rest. A relaxing massage prepares your body for deeper sleep.

The other three are quieter. Raised shoulders and shallow breathing: if reading this made you lower your shoulders and take a deep breath, you already have your answer. Clenched jaw: bruxism responds very well to facial and neck massage. And the last one is the simplest: it has been more than a month since you gave yourself an hour without your phone.
