When was your last massage?

Picture
Do you remember your last massage?  Has it been a while?  Have you ever had one?  Is it time to take some time for you - perhaps to relax - perhaps to feel better - perhaps as a preventative measure???

Did you know that massage is not just a luxury treatment?  There are actual benefits (and I'm not just saying that cuz it's my job ;-0)  Research continues to prove the various benefits of touch, triggering the medical community to actively embrace bodywork.

There are physical benefits including:
  • Reduction in high blood pressure
  • Helps to alleviate arthritis and bursitis
  • Releases endorphins
  • Enhances immunity by stimulating lymph flow
  • Helps athletes prepare for and recover from workouts and events
  • Improves skin condition
  • Improves everyday energy and sleep
  • Assists with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers
  • Increases joint flexibility and range of motion
  • Reduces scar tissue and stretch marks by promoting tissue regeneration
  • Improves circulation by pumping oxygen and nutrients into tissues and organs
  • Reduces post-surgery adhesions and swelling
  • Reduces muscle spasms and cramping
  • Relaxes injured, overused muscles
  • Relieves migraine pain
Massage can also help with emotional balance which may be just as vital and valuable as the physical benefits.
  • Reduction of fatigue
  • Decreases depression and anxiety
  • Eases and reduces medication dependence by releasing endorphins
  • Improves concentration and focus
  • Decreases stress (Experts estimate that 90% of disease is stress related and it ages us faster, both internally and externally)
I quite often have people ask how often they should get a massage.  My answer would be that it depends on the individual and their circumstance and condition.  If working on something specific you may need/want to get massages more frequently and then work into a regular routine.  As with most things, consistency is the key.  I personally believe that every 4-6 weeks is a good rule of thumb for overall wellness and preventative measures.  Listen to your body - it knows what you need.

    When I set up my website and blog under the author section it reads "Write something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview."  Whew - cuz that's all I've got for the moment.  I'm a pretty simple person who lives life lovingly.  I care deeply and am passionate about many things.  I have always had a spirit of (I'm going to call it) entrepreneurship so have been self-employed about as much as I've been employed by others.  This is a place where I share thoughts, ideas and happenings.  I'm finding that sharing my story (life) helps me as much or more than it helps others and I find that empowering.  Keep doin' what you love and lovin' what you do!
