Stay active all summer with fewer aches and pains. Learn how therapeutic bodywork can help paddleboarders, pickleball players, and weekend warriors recover faster.

After a week away, you're dealing with a stiff neck from the flight, aching hips from long car rides, sore feet from exploring new cities, or a low back that's protesting the unfamiliar hotel mattress. Even relaxing by the pool can leave your shoulders and neck tighter than before. Vacation may be a break from work, but it's often a workout for your body.

With the change of seasons comes the body and minds unique set of requirements. Moving from the fire energy of the summer into the metal energy of autumn reminds us of the constant flow of life. This flow calls you to change what you eat, nurture the corresponding organs, and be mindful of your physical and mental wellbeing by noticing how your body and mind feel during these months.

Getting a massage is great, but having a regularly scheduled massage session is better! Although most massage and bodywork sessions will alleviate tension in your body, receiving a massage at least one to two times a month has even more benefits.
