While you may be tempted to trim your wellness budget when economic times are tough, now more than ever, massage should play a role in reducing your stress and strengthening your health. When you feel your best, you're more likely to be able to face life's challenges and present difficult times. With greater health and peace of mind, you can face difficulties with poise, clarity of purpose, and strengthened emotional reserves. Truly, massage is more than a luxury–it's a vital part of self-care that has a positive ripple effect on you as you work, play, relax, live life, and care for others.
Invest In Yourself, Invest in Those You love.
In economically challenging times, it is vital to invest in preventative health care. The last thing you want is to get sick, have to take time off of work, and pay expensive medical bills. Staying healthy means maintaining your ability to take whatever life has to throw at you. Besides lowering stress levels, and reducing the risk of stress-related illnesses, massage also boosts immunity, helping you fight colds, flu, and other viral infections.
Following is a sampling of a long list of bodywork benefits:
Relieves muscle stress and tension
Increases joint flexibility and range of motion
Reduces blood pressure
Improves blood circulation
Provides relief for tension headaches
Reduces fatigue
Reduces pain (of all kinds)
Improves sleep
Builds energy levels
Reduces levels of anxiety
Helps relieve mental stress
Fosters a sense of well being
Enhances capacity for calm and creative thinking
Promotes concentration and focus
Developes self esteem
At Home
Massage therapy will also help families under stress create healthier households with clear-thinking and more relaxed moms and dads. Children are very sensitive and often pick up on tension in a household; parents who are taking care of themselves are more likely to be better caregivers and provide a sense of security to their children. This goes for caregivers of aging parents and other family members.
At Work
The health benefits of massage can help forestall illnesses and lost work time, especially when you may be asked to produce more with fewer resources. Decision-making skills will be better and your performance is likely to be improved with a clear focus and more energy.
For Health Conditions
Those with already existing health conditions can continue to reap benefits in many ways, and pro actively caring for health through massage may help reduce costly doctor visits and use of prescription and over-the-counter medications.
Research shows:
Massage can reduce sports-related soreness and improve circulation--good to know when you may be exercising more to reduce stress.
Deep-tissue massage is effective in treating back pain, arthritis, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia patients receiving massage also have less pain, depression, anxiety, stiffness, fatigue, and sleep problems.
Massage reduces symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. I also use the Low Level Laser Therapy with carpal tunnel syndrome, and have had unbelievable success.
Oncology patients show less pain, fatigue, nausea, anxiety and depression following massage therapy.
Stroke patients show less anxiety and lower blood pressure with massage therapy.
Massage therapy is effective in reducing post surgical pain.
Massage is beneficial in reducing symptoms associated with arthritis, asthma, high blood pressure, and premenstrual syndrome.
There is now a body of research to support the benefits listed above. But there's no greater testimonial than the person who is a regular receiver of massage. The first-hand experience of massage clients largely echo the same sentiment: bodywork enhances quality of life, and the return on your investment is great. While bodywork feels like a luxurious mini-vacation, and you should by all means enjoy it, there is an actual physical need for massage. Maintaining a regular massage schedule will help you operate at your peak level–whether it be at work, at home, or at play. Invest in yourself, and book a massage today.
