They are there in most of our daily lives but we don’t talk about them very often. Enough is enough. When it comes to massage, it’s time to mention your unmentionables. So, what underwear should you wear to your massage appointment? Underwear, undies, reg grundies, jocks, knickers, pants, briefs, panties (sorry!), or underdacks. There are […]

Massage homework. What?!? I prefer to call it after-care but let’s not worry about semantics. You’ve had an amazing massage. You feel on top of the world. And at the end of it, your therapist gives you self-care activities to do before you come back. “What’s with that? Didn’t we leave homework behind when we […]
