UBM? Unexpected Benefit of Massage 🙂

A lady came in for her regular treatment the other day and we were talking about she had been since last time.

She said the things client always say – she was more comfortable, had almost no pain, was enjoying moving around, sleeping better … she just felt so much better.

Then she said “Since I’ve been coming for massage, my dressage performance is really improving”.  Well, that surprised me!

But then I thought about it and we talked some more.  She said that she was sitting differently on her horse, she was MORE AWARE of her posture, she COULD FEEL her movements better and was more TOGETHER with the horse’s movements.

All this makes sense to me.

Massage helps us be more aware of our bodies and how we move and that will change how we are as people.

We can walk into a room feeling looser, freer, more positive and that will cause other people to engage differently with us.  Our mood lifts, we feel calmer, better, happier and suddenly the whole day changes for the better.

I wonder what Unexpected Benefit from Massage you might experience from a massage?
