The Rooted Body

1000%! Touch is a basic human need. Bodywork is a necessity not a luxury. I know it can seem expensive and you “don’t have time”but here are a few things that might help:
1. Typically, if you have an HSA or FSA with your insurance plan, that money can be used for massage. I have several clients that do this!
2. Some insurance plans cover chiropractic and many chiropractic offices have a massage therapist on staff.
3. Ask for massage gift certificates for Christmas, birthday, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, etc. then you at least get a couple per year.
4. When you change your perspective that massage is a luxury to the truth, it is a necessity, you understand that a massage appointment is seen as a legitimate healthcare appointment just like seeing a doctor or physical therapy. You CAN, take the time out of your work day for bodywork.

All too often we neglect our long-term physical health for what we perceive as more important responsibilities. But when we live like this we are taking minutes, days, and years off of our lives. We are taking time away from the things we truly care about in the long run. As the saying goes “you can’t pour from an empty cup”. Fill your cup first, put on your oxygen mask first. ♥️
