Rich Dad finds Wealth in Health

It’s been said many times that true wealth comes from good health. It would make sense that a best selling author and business entrepreneur Robert Kiyosaki and his wife Kim would make healing a ritual. 

Hawaii has been chosen as their healing destination. Along with the amazing weather and outdoors healing therapy is found here at Total Body Care.

The Kiyosakis make sure to follow up with their regular shiatsu massage and acupuncture treatments every time they visit.

We thank you for making TBC your source to a better and healthier body

Kinesio Tape

If you are in need additional support, you may request Kinesio Tape at any time during your session.

What it is
Kinesio Tape is a therapeutic taping method used in treating a variety of medical conditions: orthopedic, neuromuscular, neurological, etc. It enhances the performance of your lymphatic and circulator system, muscles, tendons, joints and ligaments by helping to facilitate the body’s natural healing process.  It gives you the support you need rehabilitating the affected area without restricting the body’s range of motion.

How it works
Kinesio Tape microscopically lifts the skin, facilitating lymphatic drainage and alleviating pain. This lifting affect creates interstitial space, by relieving pressure on the lymph channels,allowing better lymphatic drainage and decreasing inflammation of the affected area. It can also be used as a preventative measure and to promote good circulation and healing.

Can massage be addictive?

Often you would hear “You should not get massage so often because it becomes like a habit.” What do they mean by “habit”?? “Habit” means you cannot stand without it or have to do it. This is not necessarily an addiction or actual habit.

1.  Loosing up the area with poor blood circulation and relax tight muscles by massage
2. Going back to your typical life routines, which gradually tighten up the areas and muscles.
3. Desiring to loose up and relax your body
4. Going back to massage   

………………………………….  “This is the cycle of habit”.

Getting massage is not a bad thing at all.　Improving blood circulation by loosing up your muscles is beneficial for your body. In other words, keeping your body condition with poor blood circulation is much worse for your health. However, relying on massage too much might not be the best solution for your health.

1. After gaining back your normal muscle condition, it is important to maintain the condition as much as you can.
2. Stretch is the key to prevent tightening your muscles.
3. Appropriate amount of exercise to keep your blood flow going throughout your entire body
4. Depending on how you maintain your health condition, the number of massage sessions you have to have should decrease.

So, we, TBC, provide healthy tips and advise for our customers to be healthy without having “addition to massage”.
