Top 5 Ways To Get The Most Out Of Your Chair Massage

If you’re new to chair massage, you may wonder “what can I do to get the most benefits out of this massage.” While chair massages may lack the privacy most are familiar with when getting a full body table massage, there are still ways to “tune out” the outside world and get “into the zone.”

According to Massagetherapy.com, “It’s one of the most popular sports in the world. In fact, between 28 million and 35 million people participate in golf worldwide. The United States alone tallies 12.8 million over the age of 18 playing it at least eight times a year.”

Can anxiety affect test scores?

I really it did this time. I thought I was prepared for this test.  But, apparently, my 20-something late night booze runs with friends, proved differently. I was in a real-life panic, 20 minutes deep into one of the longest exams of my life-the New York State Massage License exam.  Broken down in 4 sections-45 minutes each-it’s a mental pressure cooker.  I froze.  I must’ve read the question 6 times.  It didn’t make sense.  Were they asking me about the origin of the muscle or did they want to know how I would treat it? Oh no! I know this stuff! Why can’t I do this!?!?

According to researchers, about a quarter of American students suffer from some form of test anxiety.  While low to moderate levels of anxiety may be somewhat beneficial, above normal anxiety levels has been proven to affect test scores.
