With winter quickly approaching, the snow is sure to follow sooner than many would like. With snow comes the daunting task of shoveling and the muscle pain and stiffness that come with it.
You may hear a client in your office, salon or spa complaining of aches and pains from recent shoveling, it's the perfect opportunity to offer them a winter relief massage.
One of my favorite products to use during is arnica oil. Arnica oil is made from the arnica plant and has been found to be beneficial in treating muscle aches, sprains and sore muscles.
You can purchase an arnica massage lotion such as the one I use most: Lotus Touch Arnica Massage Lotion. My clients ask for this lotion every time they've been shoveling and I have had great results using it to reduce muscle pain and inflammation.
If you prefer working with oils then I recommend trying the Therapro Arnica Massage Oils which are available in sizes from 2 oz up to 16 oz.
Whichever medium you prefer working with, I highly recommend adding an arnica product into your winter arsenal your clients will be looking forward to seeing you even more after the pesky snow storms!
