Health-Massage-Bodywork Tips
To me, October is the start of the holiday season. Did you know Halloween is the second most commercially successful holiday (more money spent) with Christmas coming in first place (of course!)?
As we approach the “holidaze” season, consider having a mindset of having fun and being playful. It will make your holidays much more joyful and happy. Being in your natural, playful spirit shows who you really are. When we play, we are at ease in our world and willing to extend that ease to others. And that can make us more energized, more generous, more useful.
When you are in the throes of anxiety, irritation, or victim-hood you can’t be playful or have fun. You can’t do your favorite activities and provide your best talents to your family, the community, or your job.
Here are some ideas to find the fun and playfulness in you:
Drinking water and getting hydrated AND….
Losing yourself in activities that you love to do!
Turning off the TV, radio, phones, and computers for awhile.
Reading and listening to positive information.
Meditating. Sitting and laying down quietly.
Taking a walk bare-footed at the beach.
Taking a hike in nature.
Receiving a massage!
When the Dalai Lama said ‘Be happy and useful‘, I’m sure he had something like playfulness in mind, since he is so playful himself.
Happy Halloween!
Resources
I heard about the Ringing Cedars series several years ago. I finally started the series this month. A very fascinating read.
Many people have found these books to be life-changing! Read more for yourself!
For All Military
Acupuncture and chiropractic services are now provided at the San Diego military healthcare facilities and “outside” of the military healthcare system. Work within their guidelines/procedures in order to receive these services in the local community.
Be daring and ask your military healthcare provider about seeing a massage-bodywork practitioner in your area if you are experiencing chronic pain, considering or recovering from surgery, healing from injury, or wanting to add another harmonizing therapy to improve your current health situation (a great complement to yoga, talk therapy, etc.).
Currently, the military healthcare system has not recognized massage-bodywork services as a healing therapy. Share with your military healthcare providers the benefits you received from massage-bodywork therapies. And, hopefully, eventually, massage-bodywork therapies will be incorporated into the healthcare system and hospitals like acupuncture and chiropractic services.
I have reasonable session rates for active duty, retired, veteran, and government personnel.
Information about My Practice
Do you identify yourself by the discomfort you are feeling lately?
Are you dependent on pain medications or considering splints and other supportive devices (like canes, shoe inserts, etc.), shots (like cortisone, steroids, etc.), and surgery?
Are you tired of chronic pain, tingling, numbness, always getting injured and experiencing stress fractures and lack of grip in your hands?
Do you want improved movement, better range of motion, and restful sleep?
If so, I can help you with the connective tissue massage-bodywork therapies I use as a part of my practice.
My website is very informative, so please visit to learn more about my services, session prices, and my schedule along with massage-bodywork benefits and tips for before, during, and after your sessions.
I would like to partner with other health practitioners (orthopedic surgeons, dentists, doctors, chiropractors, counselors/therapists, coaches), health facilities (gyms, exercise studios (karate, yoga, dance)), and small businesses in the city of San Diego. My practice does complement these services to bring about more health and well-being to people. If you have any recommendations, please connect us by sending them my e-newsletters and contact information, OR I would be happy to contact them directly!
I can provide demonstrations and classes about health and massage-bodywork to businesses and their employees. Review My Calendar for the talks and health/wellness events I’ve completed in the past in the San Diego community.
