Life can be stressful, let’s be honest! The endless to-do lists of work, family, and everything in between can make us feel tense and drained by the end of the day each time. Fortunately, regular massages can help us in this situation. Getting a massage regularly can be a practical way to reduce stress, improve your wellness, and give your body the relaxation that it requires. It does not have to be very complicated either, to bring massage into your routine. You can easily make it a part of your lifestyle with the help of the right tools and a little bit of planning.
Start With Just 10 Minutes a Day
It is not required to get hour long massages every day to get the advantages of it. You can start small. Even just 10 minutes of a massage, which is targeted towards specific focus points, can be significantly beneficial for tension relief. You must focus on those areas that feel the most strained, for example, your neck after a long day spent at your desk or your lower back due to a busy week. You can opt for something convenient and portable to help you get targeted massages, like the “Breo iNeck 3 Pro Rechargeable Neck Massager” or the “iEnjoy 4D Elastic Massage Cushion”. With such devices, you can get a massage whenever and wherever you need it. Click here to check out our full range of portable massagers.
Make It Part of Your Routine (Morning or Evening)
One way to let your massage habit stick is by making it part of your routine. It can either be the morning time that is good for you or maybe in the evening you can find relaxation more convenient, finding and then sticking to a consistent time for it is going to be crucial. A quick massage in the morning can energize you for the rest of the day ahead. A few minutes using a foot massager or any other similar gadget, can help loosen up your muscles and improve circulation in your body, you’ll be more refreshed as a result. While regular massage in your evening routine can help your de-stress and prepare for a better sleep at night. The effects of just 10-15 minutes with a massage chair or even a portable massager on your relaxation after a long day can be surprisingly good.
Combine Massage with Other Wellness Habits
Massage has its own set of benefits, pairing it with other healthy habits can complement the benefits of one another and become even more significant for your wellbeing. For example, you can try combining massage with light stretching (or yoga) in your routine. This will help in the loosening up of your muscles and you will ALSO get a bonus advantage of increased flexibility, thus the effects of your massage are amplified. You can also practice mindfulness or deep breathing along with your massage. This will help you get a relaxed body and as well as a relaxed mind thanks to focusing on your breathing.
Focus on Targeted Muscles
Certain areas of your body might require more attention than others, depending on your lifestyle and daily activities. If you spend most of the day at a desk, your neck or shoulders might require a targeted massage on a daily basis. While, if you walk or stand a lot during the day on a daily basis, a foot massager can be a more suitable option for your tired feet. It will allow you to quickly target and relieve pain points if you have access to a portable massager for specific areas. And it is obviously more convenient than booking a professional massage every time you feel sore.
Track Your Progress
Another great way to stay consistent with regular massages is to track how you feel afterward. You can opt for a journal where you get to note how you are feeling before and after a massage. Are you less tense? Are you getting better sleep? Are you more energized after it? You will be able to notice positive changes over time, which will not only be good for your health but can also motivate you to stick with your routine.
Make It Social
If you are someone who needs an extra push of motivation to be able to stick with a routine, wouldn’t it be a good idea to make it a shared experience? You can start scheduling massage sessions with your partner or family members. Even if your massagers are different, it can still be a great bonding activity that will also encourage accountability.
