Choosing Massage Therapy for Self-Care
Daily we hear all the buzz about “self-care” and the importance of health and wellness, but what about massage therapy? The constant scroll on social media viewing the hottest fitness trends, green drinks, and beauty treatments with the promise of a better you. We are inundated with tips and tricks on how to be well. How is that going for you? Are you taking the time to incorporate self-care activities into your routine?
Perhaps it is time to consider massage therapy.
What was once considered a luxury experience by many is now accepted as a basic need for wellbeing. More people are choosing to add it to their monthly maintenance health plan as research proves the positive impact. According to experts at the Mayo clinic “massage is generally considered part of complementary and integrative medicine. It’s increasingly being offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations.”
Massage helps to loosen the muscles allowing increased blood flow, improvement of circulation and lymphatic system, as well as improve sleep, decrease pain, and increased flexibility, to name a few. When pressure is applied to the body, the skin’s nerve cells signal the brain to release endorphins, our “feel-good happy” chemicals that boost a natural high and positive mindset.
Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for:
- reducing stress, anxiety, and depression
- minimizing fatigue
- improving flexibility
- releasing toxins
- improved circulation
- rebuilding immunities
- decreasing inflammation
- alleviating symptoms of chronic pain
Here are a couple of examples of massage therapy treatments and benefits:
