Warm greetings this wintery #ThinkingThursday

Do you receive body work?

Various types of massage, osteopathy, reflexology or chiropractic perhaps?

Any modality that someone puts their hands on you with a therapeutic intention

Around 375 B.C. Hippocrates, the father of medicine is quoted: “the physician must be experienced in many things, but assuredly in rubbing,” can you imagine?

I often pray that our health system would better recognize the power of treatment and preventive value of physical care

For now, many extended health insurance plans cover various forms of body work, and an excellent investment in your Extreme Self Care

I’m admittedly biased, as a reiki massage practitioner

However research & experience demonstrates that body work is beneficial for decreasing muscle soreness, tension and pain, while increasing range of motion in joints, plus improving blood & lymph circulation which stimulates the immune system, and more

Overall, body work supports physical & mental health in anyone’s wellness plan

I’m anticipating a massage session with a new colleague tomorrow, and thought I would share my excitement, and why

How is this resonating today?

Your feedback & shares are most welcome

Many blessings to you along your healing journey
