I often suggest that my clients reward themselves whenever they reach a goal. I like to indulge in a trip to a local day spa or give myself a self-massage.
If you reward yourself with a massage, you’ll reap some unexpected bonuses. Massage does much more than help you to relax and feel pampered. Like stretching, massage also may help lengthen muscles, creating a longer, leaner appearance.
Massage also increases circulation to your muscles, helping them to recover faster from soreness and training-related injuries. Other benefits include better sleep and heightened mental relaxation. And new research shows that massage may also boost your metabolism.
No other form of pampering gives you more bang for your buck! So rub out those back kinks and soothe achy muscles and tired feet; you’ll be surprised by the therapeutic benefits.
