Benefits of Massage & Bodywork

There are dozens of reasons to get a massage. When you make the ultimate decision to hire a professional bodyworker, your reasons will probably include a combination of any of these:

Tension

Muscle tension can be caused by lots of things…stress, injury, poor joint alignment, etc. Regardless of the source, tension causes muscle fatigue and spasms, commonly referred to as “knots.” When your muscles become tense for an extended length of time, more serious health complications can result, like migraine headaches. Massage helps to relax muscle tension by firm manipulation of the area, which not only physically works the muscles into a relaxed state, but frees up the delivery of detoxifying oxygen and lymph to the area.

Stress

The medical community is finally beginning to recognize and accept the terrible impact that stress has on our health. While stress is intangible and can’t effectively be measured, it makes us exhausted and irritable, makes us more susceptible to disease, and can significantly worsen the symptoms of many illnesses. Massage has been proven to relax and calm not only the body, but the mind. Even an hour’s pampering and escape from the stress of everyday life will lower stress levels, help you manage stress more effectively, and have a lasting impact on your body, your mood, and, ultimately, your health.

Wellbeing

Life can get so busy that we forget to stop and do something special for ourselves. Giving yourself a gift, especially one like massage, contributes dramatically to your sense of well being. Scientific studies have been done in recent years that link regular massage to better self image, lower instances of depression and anxiety, and a better quality of life. A massage not only feels wonderful, while under the hands of a professional therapist you’ll feel special and well cared for.

Pain

Have you been injured in an accident? Do you have pain associated with illnesses like cancer or arthritis? Massage has been clinically proven to speed the recovery process of muscle and joint injuries, and to help manage the chronic pain associated with many diseases. In some instances, it rivals the use of powerful pain medications. Many insurance companies are adding massage benefits to their list of covered treatments. Always consult with your doctor before booking a massage if you are doing so for medical reasons and make sure your therapist knows your current medical condition.

Physique

Do you work out regularly? Then your muscles are producing a higher level of waste (lactic acid, carbon dioxide, etc.) and need the benefit of increased circulation from both blood and lymph. Massage helps stimulate circulation, and manually moves lymph both into and out of your major muscle groups. In the hands of a trained therapist, this can shorten your recovery time and help you reach your peak performance.

Gifts

Do you know someone who’s impossible to shop for? Perhaps they already have everything they could possibly want. Or perhaps they’re incredibly unique, and an actual present just doesn’t seem fitting. A massage is a superb gift for anyone, whether they’ve had a thousand, or are getting one for the first time. It’s something they won’t soon forget. Most therapists offer massage gift certificates, and often extend special pricing when you purchase more than one massage at a time. So get one for yourself, while you’re at it!
