Real Health Benefits of Massage - Massage Can Renew Your Mind, Body and Spirit
Life happens. It’s a simple statement, but it rings true – especially in these tough times. Some people who can’t find a good outlet for pent-up stress may handle extra pressure in their lives by drinking more, smoking more or developing a reliance on anti-depressants."Often time’s people are stressed in our culture. Stress-related disorders make up between 80-and-90 percent of the ailments that bring people to family-practice physicians. But a more positive solution to stress management and maintaining overall wellness may be as close as your neighborhood spa.
Here are some ways that regular massage therapy treatments can help you find the relief you’re looking for… naturally.
Reduces Fatigue
Lowers blood pressure
Decreases stress hormones helping to manage anxiety and depression
Fosters concentration
Raises mood-elevating brain chemicals such as serotonin
Boost the immune system
Decreases pain and stiffness
Increases flexibility
Reduces Frequency of Headaches
Improves Sleep (It is proven that babies fall asleep faster when massaged than when rocked — and they stay asleep, rather than waking the moment Mom tiptoes away.)
And you can’t beat massage for relaxation.
While you may be tempted to trim your wellness budget in economically challenging times, it is vital to take good care of YOU. The last thing you want is to get sick, have to take time off of work and pay expensive medical bills. Besides lowering stress levels and, in turn, reducing the risk of stress-related illnesses, massage also boosts immunity, helping you fight colds, flu and other viral infections.
Staying healthy means maintaining your ability to take whatever life has to throw at you. With greater health and peace of mind, you can face these difficulties with poise, clarity of purpose and strengthened emotional reserves."
Like exercise, massage does more for you if you engage in it regularly... even a monthly treatment can help maintain general health. Remember, your body strives to maintain optimum health by keeping all of its systems in balance. Along with proper nutrition, exercise and rest, massage relaxes tense muscles and stimulates the body’s communication lines to help it do its job — and to keep you feeling your best.
Truly, massage is no longer a luxury, it’s a vital part of self-care that has a positive ripple effect on us as we work, play, relax, live life and care for others. Invest in yourself and those you love! Massage is an excellent value. The price of massage has remained stable in recent years, as the cost of movies, dining out and sports events has risen. Which of these has the power to improve your health and your outlook on life? Make regular massage a priority in your life for a healthier tomorrow
