We had a great interview with Brandi from Escape Wellness Spa. The three of us broke it down, from practical ways for injury prevention to the benefits of massage, and all sorts of related therapies. Believe it or not, this sort of thing works better if you don’t wait until you have to limp or crawl to an appointment. It’s not about pampering yourself at all–rather, it’s an important part of staying healthy. Take care of your body continually rather than only stopping in for maintenance when parts stop working right.

Brandi also mentioned things to do before and after massage to make sure you get the most out of it, and Emily added some helpful tips learned from her masters degree in exercise science. You’ll feel so informed and knowledgeable by the time you finish listening, but remember that it doesn’t count. Now you have to actually schedule an appointment and follow through.
