How NOT to Have to Live with Those Aches and Pains

By Carol Wiley, Licensed Massage Practitioner

Are you living a healthy life, full of energy and free of annoying aches and pains? If not, read on to find out how you can take charge of your health and energy using natural self-care methods.

As a massage therapist, I often hear clients complain of some ache or pain, followed by the statement, "I guess I'm just getting old." I have to contain my impulse to shake them and say, "That's garbage. If you take care of yourself properly, most of those aches and pains will go away."

"If our muscles are not regularly used in challenging and skilled activities, they become weaker and less responsive. If our brain cells are not systematically involved in a wide variety of voluntary activities, they deteriorate...Those who believe that they should take it easy as they become older are deluded; they are persons who are surrendering their life functions bit by bit."
- Thomas Hanna in Somatics: Reawakening the Mind's Control of Movement, Flexibility, and Health.


Of course, part of the problem is that we are not taught how to take care of ourselves. That's where my new e-book, Self-Care: Living a Healthy Life through Massage, Somatics, Exercise, Stress Management, and More, comes in.

This 70-page guide introduces you to a variety of options for self-care. Some options, such as massage, do require that you see a professional (although self-massage can also be quite useful). However, many stress management techniques, exercise options, and other techniques you can do on your own.

Self-Care: Living a Healthy Life through Massage, Somatics, Exercise, Stress Management, and More is a guide to taking care of yourself that gives you options, so that you can choose what works best for you.

Here's some of what you will learn:

  • The benefits of massage therapy, what you can do to increase the benefits of receiving massage, using massage for pain relief, and self massage techniques for those times when you just can't get to a massage therapist.

  • How stress affects your body and ways to manage stress and relax more, even with a hectic life.

  • Massage therapy and self-help for conditions including headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder pain, back pain, and elbow pain.

  • What somatic education is and why it might just be what’s missing in your self-care program. What are the Feldenkrais Method®, Hanna Somatic Education®, and Body-Mind Centering®, and how can they help you?

  • Why exercise is important and why an effective exercise program includes three components: cardio, strength training, and flexibility training. You also get exercise tips to motivate you and maximixe your workout.

  • General health tips that require very little effort.

Although juggling a career, family, and more is highly demanding and doesn’t often leave much time for self care, neglecting yourself damages both your physical and emotional health in the long run (and by extension the lives of people close to you).

By neglecting your needs, you send your body and psyche the message that you are not as important as other things. Ignore your body too long and you may find yourself not only with aches and pains but also with serious health issues that could have been avoided with some preventative self-care.
