CBD massage and its benefits.

When we look at our lives these days, we often find ourselves living on a knife’s edge, whether we are pushed to it by pressure at work, family life, relationships, physical appearance, health or whatever else we want to achieve or a combination of some of all of these factors. The impact on our physical and mental health can be quite damaging.

Ever since the global pandemic, the number of patients we cater for has increased dramatically forcing us to re-think massage as a therapy so we can better help people that come to see us. In my work, I very often have to deal with consequences brought about by a combination of emotional pressures like deadlines at work or working long hours from home and long hours spent sitting at a desk. I must admit when I tried to deal with this particular challenge using only the knowledge I received at massage school, I was not always successful. My clients were very kind and they usually came back for more treatments, which allowed me to interview them further and understand what I could do better.

I spent some time reading and researching, all the while trying to discuss this issue with my fellow massage therapists. Unexpectedly, the solution came with the new trends. In this particular instance, it was the advent of the Cannabidiol (CBD) revolution. Strangely enough, I never found CBD drops working that well for me when I took them orally. However, I found that the efficacy of my work increases every time I use CBD products designed for massage like oils and muscle balms. I combined their use with emphasis of massage work on the neck and the face spending a good part of each session concentrating on those areas alone.

Warming up the neck and temporomandibular (TMJ) area prior to deep tissue and soft tissue release techniques using CBD products has proved to be a game changer. It is one of the examples of how a tiny deviation from a more common approach can change the perception of the treatment as experienced by a patient. The normally painful spots become a point of relaxation and improved mobility. Needless to say, once the CBD filters through the skin and into the bloodstream, it combines its positive effects with endorphins that are released during the massage, which strengthens the effect of the feel-good factor.

This is how CBD Massage appeared on the list of treatments offered at YK Wellness. I often recommend it to my clients who live with aches and pains but also those who find it hard to get good quality sleep. The applications of this treatment is indeed varied with a high level of efficacy.
