Christmas is supposed to be a jolly time of year, but sometimes incidents happen that can set us back. In this article, we will discuss seven pains of Christmas that a Santa Monica Thai massage can help ease.
1. Decorating the house
Decorating is one of the most important parts of Christmas preparation. You have to put up the grand tree and you can’t forget to hang up the festive lights. You may end up straining a muscle or two while you do these activities. Tension in the back and neck can be painful and a massage is just what you need to release those knots in your body.
2. Wrapping presents
It’s not really Christmas if there are no presents being exchanged. There is nothing more exciting than waking up on Christmas morning and seeing all the beautifully wrapped presents under the tree, just waiting to be opened. The kids don’t know that you are, of course, the sneaky elf who wrapped all the presents. Wrapping can be a painstaking process. You spend a lot of time cutting wrapping paper, wrapping the presents, and fixing bows. You will probably end up with a pesky headache or a sore neck and shoulders after all the wrapping is done. A massage can help give you a much-needed relaxation and help rejuvenate your body and mind.
3. Shopping in stores
Do you find yourself spending countless hours shopping for presents every holiday season? Your legs can start to feel extremely tired after all the speed walking you have to do at the mall.
4. Cooking Mishaps
Are you trying to channel your inner Julia Child this December? Be careful in the kitchen. Some of the most common injuries during the holidays have to do with cooking and kitchen mishaps. If you do end up with back pain from heavy lifting the roast dinner, you know you can visit Santa Monica Massage and Reflexology Center for a high quality massage. You can even bring your significant other for a couples massage in Santa Monica if you would like.
5. Keeping up with the kids
Christmas means family time and if you have a lot of kids in your family, you know that they can be full of energy! When your niece, nephew, or grandchild ask for a piggy back ride, you can’t say no, can you? If you strain your back while playing with the kids, you should get a massage to heal the pain.
6. Loft mishap
Did you know that 1 in 50 people fall from the loft while trying to get Christmas decorations down? Do you find yourself struggling to retrieve the holiday presents you have been hiding from the kids? You may be straining your muscles trying to reach the highest shelf of your closet to get the presents. A Thai massage is just the thing you need to help ease your pain and improve your core strength.
7. Topping the Tree
Are you in charge of putting the angel on top of the Christmas tree? If you are, you know that reaching the top of a 6 foot tall tree is no small feat. You could greatly benefit from a massage after straining your back doing your Christmas duties.
