Massage in November

November in Denver is peak “tension season.” Between the colder temps, shorter daylight, and holiday pressure starting to build, people are already walking around with tight necks, headaches, jaw tension, and restless sleep. The time change hits the nervous system and your brain produces different hormones depending on light exposure. That sudden shift absolutely affects stress levels.

Colorado winters are famous for making people clench. Shoulders creep up. Muscles guard against the cold. Many people sit more, move less, and carry more emotional stress without realizing it. Holiday obligations, family dynamics, travel planning, budgeting, and end-of-year workload all pile on fast.

Massage in November is the time to stabilize your baseline before holiday stress peaks in December. One 60 or 90 minute session helps switch the nervous system out of the stress response. When your body is already regulated, the rest of the season becomes much more manageable.

This isn’t about “treating yourself.” It’s about preventing the December crash.

Most people wait until they are in pain or overwhelmed... that’s the worst time. The best time to get a massage is at the very start of the holiday season, when you can set the tone for winter and maintain better mental and physical stability all month.

The snow is coming. The cold is here. The time change is here and holiday stress is starting.

Booking a massage in November is a strategy move that actually keeps your body ahead of the curve rather than fighting to recover after the damage is done.

If you’re in Capitol Hill or anywhere near central Denver, this is the time to stay ahead of the tension curve. I’m at the corner of Ninth and Sherman which is easy access from Cheesman, Uptown, Congress Park, and the Speer corridor. A well timed session right now keeps your nervous system steadier going into the holiday push instead of scrambling to fix everything after you’re already burnt out.
