Nicky Recommends…self care! Here are a few good tools and tips…

Deep Blue

This muscle rub rocks! To me, it works better than any other I’ve tried, including BioFreeze. Deep blue relieves pain. When I was assisting my teacher with a yoga teacher training (in other words…LOTS OF YOGA) my back was acting up….this muscle rub SAVED me. It loosened me right up and eliminated a lot of pain. I can’t explain it…I just know it worked well for me. I highly recommend you try it. Found in many places on the internet.

Thera Cane

Wonderful tool to have on hand!! It comes with a guide demonstrating how to massage your entire body, but this magical wand is amazing for the shoulders, traps and back muscles. Acupressure is very important for many reasons; activating neuro-lymphatic reflex points, moving blocked energy, improving circulation, reducing chronic pain and releasing adhesions….to name a few. With the Thera Cane, it is rather effortless to create pin-pointed release right where you need. Don’t let it just hang around….the more you use it, the better you’ll get at it. These make great gifts as well.

Sharper Image Massager

I like this massager specifically because it has a strong touch without being too much. It offers multiple settings. Additionally, it offers heat. It feels incredible along the upper back, shoulders, and low back. Also, this guy feels great on the calves and hamstrings. It is durable and easy to clean. TRY it. I got mine at Bed Bath and Beyond (don’t forget your 20% off coupon).

ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO…

• Go to sleep when you are tired.

• A quick shower before bed can help you sleep.

• If you’re mind is busy, do a little writing or reading before bed.

• Get body work done!

• Stretch every single day, even if it is just a little bit.
