Before you choose a massage therapist, make certain he or she is licensed in the state of Colorado.
Massage therapists are required to complete a recognized course in massage therapy with at least 500 hours of course work and practical training from a massage therapy school approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB).
Massage therapists must pass a certified massage therapy practice exam, and complete continuing education courses in order to maintain a license.
Licensed massage therapists also agree to follow a code of conduct to protect the safety and privacy of their patients.
An unlicensed or inexperienced massage therapist could:
*aggravate an existing injury or delay healing
*lessen flexibility, range of motion or mobility in some people
*be unaware of the effects of chronic conditions
You deserve the best treatment from the most qualified, experienced and licensed massage therapist.

Mangos are packed with more than a dozen types of polyphenols (antioxidants) that can help prevent cancer. Mango is also full of Vitamin A which helps to boost the immune system. Vitamin A is also the key to healthy, moisturized skin and hair. Recent experiments show that mangoes help to regulate blood sugar levels. And the leutein and zeaxanthin found in mangoes are good for healthy eyes.

Windmill toe touches are also bad because you’re bending and rotating at the same time. Either bend or rotate during a stretch, not both.

Bouncing stretches are a recipe for muscle tears. The old “hurdler’s stretch” where you put one leg out in front and the other leg behind you, is out as well. That stretch causes stress in the ligaments of your knee. It’s better to put both legs out in front, and stretch toward your toes gently.

Your muscles need oxygen throughout the stretch so take good deep, slow breaths as you stretch. Holding your breath can also raise blood pressure. Simple stretches such as shoulder rolls don’t require that you hold them, but other stretches such as quadriceps stretches should be held for at least 20 seconds. 60 seconds is even better.
Remember to breathe throughout the stretch.

When it comes to stretching, it’s wrong! Stretch slowly and gently within what’s comfortable. It’s ok to feel mild tension within your muscles and joints, but don’t push past a mild pull. If you have discomfort in your neck, back, shoulders or knees while you stretch, lessen the stretch until it’s comfortable. If the discomfort continues even with a mild stretch, a neuromuscular massage therapist can help you regain your flexibility.
