Therapeutic Massage is a great means for helping you deal with stress, headaches, neck pain and back pain. In the short term, a deeply relaxing massage can provide you a welcome break and help you feel better both mentally and physically. Over time, you can use massage to help you increase healthy and productive responses to the demanding challenges in your daily life.
When you are stressed and running on empty, massage therapy can help you revive and restore the energy and creativeness you need to meet your challenges in a number of ways.
Massage can relieve painful muscle tension that can drain your energy. Massage also stimulates the release of endorphins, your body’s natural pain reliever. This can help minimize stress, neck pain, headaches and generalized back pain.
Massage increases circulation, clearing out stress hormones and waste products that can make you tired and sore, and giving your cells the nutrients vital for tissue repair.
Massage Therapy will help out with improved sleep. The value of restful sleep usually improves in the days following a massage. This gives your body a chance to further repair and restore your energy.
Massage Therapy is an important part of a wellness lifestyle and requires no extensive preparation or physical effort. As you take care of yourself in this simple way, you may find yourself developing the energy to pursue other healthy activities such as exercise, good nutrition, or spending more time with family and friends.1
Getting a massage can do you a world of good. And getting massage frequently can do even more. Taking part in this form of regularly scheduled self-care can play a huge part in how healthy you'll be and how youthful you'll remain with each passing year. Massage should be a part of everyone's health maintenance routine. Budgeting time and money for massage at consistent intervals is truly an investment in your health. And remember: just because massage feels like a pampering treat doesn't mean it is any less therapeutic. Consider massage appointments a necessary piece of your health and wellness plan.
It has been said that, "Massage is to the human body what a tune-up is for a car."
