🏃🏽‍♀️💆🏽‍♀️ Can You Exercise on the Same Day as a Massage?

This is a question I get asked often!

The short answer is: Yes, most people can exercise on the same day they receive a massage.

However, the type of massage and the intensity of your workout matter.

✅ Light to moderate activities such as walking, stretching, mobility exercises, or an easy workout are usually well tolerated after a massage.

⚠️ If you’ve received a deep tissue massage or intensive work on areas with significant muscle tension, you may feel some soreness afterward. In those cases, it may be beneficial to take it easy or allow your body additional recovery time before participating in a strenuous workout.

Remember, massage therapy is designed to help reduce tension, improve mobility, and support recovery. Listening to your body is always the best guide.

A few tips after your massage:
💧 Stay hydrated
🚶🏽‍♀️ Take a short walk
🧘🏽‍♀️ Stretch if it feels good
😴 Get adequate rest

The goal is not to stop your movement—it’s to help your body move and feel better.

As always, if you’re unsure what is best for your situation, ask your massage therapist.

💆🏽‍♀️ Is It Normal to Feel Sore After a Massage?

This is one of the most common questions I hear!

While many people feel relaxed and refreshed after a massage, some may experience mild soreness for a day or two afterward, especially if tight or overworked muscles were addressed.

Massage therapy affects muscles and soft tissues in a way that can feel similar to how your body responds after physical activity. As tension is released and restricted areas are worked, temporary soreness can sometimes occur.

A few reasons you may feel sore:

✔️ It’s been a long time since your last massage

✔️ You requested deeper pressure than your body was accustomed to

✔️ Areas with significant tension or muscle tightness were addressed

✔️ Your body is adjusting to increased movement and improved tissue mobility

What can help afterward?

💧 Drink plenty of water

🚶🏽‍♀️ Take a short walk or do light stretching

🛁 Enjoy a warm bath if needed

😴 Get a good night’s rest

The goal of massage therapy is not to cause pain. The goal is to help reduce tension, improve mobility, support recovery, and help you feel your best.

Remember: The deepest massage is not always the best massage. The best massage is the one that gives your body what it needs. 💜🦋

💆🏽‍♀️ What Type of Massage Pressure Is Right for You? 💆🏽‍♀️

Not every massage should be deep tissue! The best massage depends on your goals and what your body needs.

😊 Lymphatic Massage
Pressure: Very Light
Best For:
✔️ Post-op recovery
✔️ Swelling
✔️ Detox support
✔️ Lymphatic drainage

😊 Swedish Massage
Pressure: Light to Medium
Best For:
✔️ Relaxation
✔️ Stress relief
✔️ Better circulation
✔️ First-time massage clients

Think of this as your “melt into the table” massage. 😌

😊 Therapeutic Massage
Pressure: Medium
Best For:
✔️ Muscle tension
✔️ Neck and shoulder pain
✔️ Everyday aches and pains
✔️ Relaxation with focused work

This is one of the most requested massage styles because it combines relaxation with treatment.

😊 Deep Tissue Massage
Pressure: Firm to Deep
Best For:
✔️ Chronic muscle tightness
✔️ Athletes
✔️ Stubborn knots
✔️ Limited range of motion

Deep tissue isn’t about pain—it’s about working deeper layers of muscle when needed.

💜 The best massage isn’t always the deepest massage. It’s the massage that gives your body what it needs at that moment.

I have to admit🤷🏽‍♀️I am absolutely loving my online booking system! 💜 abetterumassage.com

It took me years to finally jump on the bandwagon, but now I can’t imagine not having it.

Before online booking, I spent time every day texting clients appointment reminders and following up on confirmations. Now the system does it all automatically!

Clients receive appointment reminders, can easily confirm their appointments, and if something comes up, they can conveniently reschedule within the required cancellation timeframe.

My goal has always been to make scheduling as simple and stress-free as possible for my clients, and this system has truly been a blessing for both of us.

Thank you to everyone who has embraced the new process and continues to support A Better U Massage. 🦋

Schedule your next appointment anytime, day or night!

🥰🍗💛 Nana Duty Called and these babies weren’t taking “I’M TIRED” for an answer!

After being gone all week in Nashville for advanced training, my grandbabies finally got their Nana back. They’re used to coming over at least once or twice a week, so I think they felt like I had been gone for a month! 😂

The first request?
Nana, can you make fried chicken and shells & cheese?😄So I put on my apron and got to cooking. 👩🏾‍🍳🍗🧀 Needless to say😇Nana is officially back on duty! ❤️🏡

🤔 What Causes Neck & Shoulder Tension?

If your neck and shoulders always feel tight, you’re not alone! Many people carry stress and tension in this area without even realizing it.

Common causes include:

✔️ Poor posture while sitting or looking at your phone
✔️ Working at a computer for long periods
✔️ Stress and anxiety
✔️ Sleeping in an awkward position
✔️ Repetitive movements at work
✔️ Muscle overuse from exercise or daily activities

When muscles stay tight for too long, they can lead to headaches, stiffness, reduced range of motion, and even pain that travels into the upper back and arms.

💆🏽‍♀️ Massage therapy can help by relaxing tight muscles, improving circulation, reducing stress, and restoring mobility.

Don’t ignore the tension—your body may be asking for a reset.

Have you noticed your tension more in your neck, shoulders, or both? Let me know in the comments! 👇🏽

💜 A Better U Massage is BACK OPEN and ready to take your bookings!

I can’t wait to see my clients again. Thank you for your patience while I was away investing in continuing education and bringing new techniques back to Little Rock. See you all in the morning! 😊

There’s truly no place like home. 🏡💜 🏡 Home Sweet Home! 🦋💜

After 5 days of intense advanced massage training, I am finally HOME!
I enjoyed every minute of this experience, but whew 😅 those were some LONG days! We trained for 10 hours each day, and today ended with a hands-on technique exam covering everything we learned throughout the week.

I’m excited to bring these new skills back to A Better U Massage, including advanced TMJ techniques, lymphatic work, and intraoral therapy to better serve my clients.

A huge THANK YOU to my family, friends, and clients who called, texted, checked on me, and helped keep me awake on my drive home after class. Your love and encouragement meant more than you know. ❤️

Now I’m looking forward to seeing my grandbabies, who have been wondering where Nana has been all week, and of course my sweet Prince 🐾 who has definitely been missing his mommy! Thank goodness for FaceTime, we got to see each other every day. 😊
