The Recovery Baseline
SELF-ASSESSMENT TOOL
Massage is not indulgence. It’s infrastructure.
Maintenance beats crisis. Care should be proactive — not reactive.

Load Audit
How much are you asking of your body each week?
How many hours per week do you work or study?
How many hours per week are physically repetitive? (standing, sitting, lifting, typing)
How many hours per week are intentionally dedicated to recovery?
2
Recurring Patterns
What does your body keep telling you?
Do the same areas tighten up week after week?
When stress increases, does it show up in your body predictably? (neck, jaw, shoulders, gut)
Where do you hold tension most consistently?
3
Crisis Pattern Check
When do you actually seek care?
Do you wait until pain interrupts your function before seeking care?
Do you push through discomfort regularly without addressing it?
How often do you schedule bodywork or recovery sessions?
4
Regulation + Recovery Quality
How well is your nervous system actually recovering?
How would you describe your sleep quality?
Do you notice unconscious bracing? (jaw clenching, held breath, tight shoulders at rest)
How would you describe your nervous system state most days?

Your Result
Reactive Recovery Model
You seek care after pain appears. Recovery is unscheduled. Your body is adapting without structured support — which is how most injuries and chronic tension patterns develop. Awareness is the first step. You need a starting point.
Your Result
Emerging Maintenance Model
You’re aware of your patterns and occasionally proactive. The foundation is there — it just lacks consistency and structure. With a clear maintenance rhythm, you can shift from managing tension to preventing it.
Your Result
Structured Recovery Model
You treat your body like the infrastructure it is. Recovery is scheduled, patterns are monitored, and maintenance is built into how you operate. This is the standard. Keep building on it.
