What did you learn from these massage quotes about life?

If you were looking for the perfect massage quote to caption your relaxing Instagram posts, there were several listed you can pick from.

They will all perfectly capture the essence of prioritizing your body and your peace of mind in this crazy world.

Now that you know why you should get a massage, the next question is, how often do you get one?

That answer really depends on why you are getting them (severe pain or relaxation) and how much you can afford to spend.

I have scoliosis and other back issues, and the chiropractor recommends frequent massages (once or twice a week).

The national average for an hour massage is about $100, which is a little unrealistic.

I try to go once, maybe twice a month.

In the time between massages, though, I use the hydro massage bed at the gym and spend a few dollars on the massage chairs everywhere I see them.

You could also try to purchase a massage gun, like this one, or even a chair pad for the back of your office chair.

Although, definitely try to budget the real thing when you can.

Have you tried products like those before?
