We’ve compiled a list of self-care practices you can use to reduce high blood pressure, improve digestion, promote healthy sleep and improve your memory.

1. Stay Hydrated

Drinking plenty of fluids to maintain and replenish water levels is vital for muscle function, joint and brain protection, immune health, digestion, and your mood.

 2. Get Regular Massages

Practice what you preach. You know about the benefits of getting a good massage so reap the benefits yourself by booking regular appointments at the NHI Massage Clinic.

 

3. Practice Meditation

Spend 10 minutes a day meditating to reduce stress and improve your focus. Meditating benefits your emotional well-being and your overall health. To get in the habit of meditating, we recommend using Headspace, a personal meditation guide that fits in your pocket.

 

4. Don’t Overbook Appointments and Make Time for Quiet Breaks

Overbooking appointments often leads to stress, tiredness, and a bad yelp review from your clients. Leave adequate time in between clients to take a quiet break. Go for a short walk, eat a healthy snack, and listen to soothing music to help you feel refreshed and ready for the next client.

5. Practice Good Hygiene

Maintaining good hygiene is critical for massage therapists as it shows a sense of professionalism and keeps your clients happy.

 

6. Take Vacations

Give yourself some well deserved R&R every once in a while. A relaxing vacation will rejuvenate your mind and body.

This online service delivers all the ingredients you need to prepare a healthy gourmet meal. Complement your diet with a regular exercise plan to maintain strength, flexibility, and good health.

 

8. Practice Proper Body Mechanics

The term body mechanics is used to describe the optimal alignment of our body for free-flowing movement. Professional Massage Therapists, ease and efficiency of movement will protect massage therapists from unnecessary stress and pain.

 

9. Stretch Properly

Since you are on your feet and exerting some strength and pressure when you perform massages on your clients, it’s important to treat your job like exercise. With that being said, before you exercise every day you should stretch. Light stretches before meeting with any client is a good starting point.

 

10. Spend Time with Friends and Family

Enjoy quality time maintaining positive relationships with your friends and family. According to a study from Brigham Young University, having many strong social ties can help you live a longer, healthier life.
