Why massage rocks (plus 4 DIY tips!)

 
Ever wondered why a neck massage or back rub feels so fab? A recent study shows that massage reduces inflammation in muscles and tissues, which releases painful pressure within your body. As you rub your muscles, they release proteins that stimulate regeneration and healing.

 

So, the next time you pull a calf muscle, strain a quad or simply wanna make your slept-on-it-weird neck feel better, try giving your muscles a li’l hands-on TLC.

 

Wanna try it out? Here are our top-four tips for giving yourself a healing massage:

 

- Use the tips of your fingers or your thumbs for the reachable areas of your body

- Move in a continuous circular motion

- Press hard enough that you feel the pressure, but make sure you don’t feel any sharp pain!

- Always go around prominent bones (ones that stick out) and focus on the cushy areas around them

I give my bf massages and he gives them back to me. Its so true that they make you feel better. After a work out or a run I love how they feel. I just wish I could get them more.

MOD MOD MOD So I really want to know the absolute truth about this. Is cracking your knuckles bad?
And also, recently I've been having pains in my back. Is this from cracking my back when I stretch? Thanks! Smile




Hey girl,

Read this ;) Honest truth, we swear!

MOD MOD MOD i know this is gross but how do u shave under ur arms? i just dont wanna cut myself btw i am usin a disposable razor

 

Hey beagle gal, you can apply shaving cream beneath your arms and then use a razor. Nair, which is just a lotion you apply, leave on for a few minutes, wipe with a damp cloth and the hair will slide off. Some people like to use warm soap water when shaving, so just see what works best for you. Hope this helps!! Xoxo
