GOT STRESS?

Yes, it’s true…

Everyone carries stress in their neck and shoulders and a Therapeutic

Massage

could

be ‘just what the doctor ordered’.

Massage has a long and rich history of being a mode of physical,

mental, and

spiritual healing. Medical doctors and Chiropractors are

also recognizing massage

a great form of physical therapy.

Touch is one of the most basic forms of healing. Even if it’s just a

hug or a high

five,

these simple forms of contact can actually lift

your spirits. That is why

Massage is

therapeutic for many reasons.

Whether using massage as a form of

pain management

or as a means

to simply relax for an hour, you will most

certainly experience its

benefits.

Massage Therapy is a great way to help relieve stress and the toll it

takes on

your

body. You may not realize it but when your mind

comes under stress, so

does your

body.

How many times after coming home from a long, hard, stressful day,

have you

noticed that the aches and pains begin once you finally get

an opportunity to

relax

and unwind a bit?

This is because your muscles have spent the entire day in a tense and

tight

position

and while under the strain, adhesions or ‘knots’ can

form in the muscle

fibers. It is

when your body returns to a balanced

and relaxed state, or

Homeostasis, that the

pain and stiffness begin to

become more noticeable. The

muscles are pulling against

these

adhesions, causing neuromuscular pain and

spasms, which can be

quite painful

and make it difficult to go about your day-to-

day life.

A massage session can help ‘untie those knots’ and relieve the pain

of spasms.

When you are pain free, there is less stress on your mind, body and

spirit,

making it

much easier to manage your day. Massage is also

known to reduce the

stress

hormone, cortisol, while boosting the feel

good hormones, serotonin and

dopamine.

These changes can slow your heart rate, reduce blood pressure, and

block your

nervous system’s pain receptors, all while increasing

blood flow to your muscles,

helping them to heal more quickly.

Massage can also ease the distress from a migraine as well as pain

associated with

arthritis and fibromyalgia.

Just think…in only a one-hour session of Massage Therapy you

could begin to

experience relief from those sore, tired, aching muscles

and walk out more

energized

while feeling relaxed and renewed.

Touch is the first

sense

to develop in

humans,

and may

be the last to

fade.

There are

approximately 5

million touch

receptors

in our skin

- 3,000 in a

just

finger tip alone.

A touch of any kind

can reduce the heart

rate and lower blood

pressure.

Touch stimulates

the

release of

endorphins

(the

body's own

natural

pain killer),

which is

why a

mother's hug

for her

child's

skinned knee

can

literally

make it

feel

better.

Massage can do wonders for your body. No longer considered an indulgence, therapeutic
massage is recognized as an effective part of a wellness program. Benefits include:

Relief from pain and stress
Increase blood circulation and immune function
Evolve the body to a place of more integrated alignment and authenticity
Evoke awareness of body/mind/spirit connection

MASSAGE THERAPY

Therapeutic Massage

An increasing number of research studies show massage reduces

heart rate, lowers blood pressure, increases blood circulation

and

lymph flow, relaxes muscles, improves range of motion, and

increases endorphins (enhancing medical treatment).

Although therapeutic massage does not increase muscle strength, it

can stimulate weak, inactive muscles and, thus, partially compensate

for the lack of exercise and inactivity resulting from illness or injury.

It also can hasten and lead to a more complete recovery from

exercise or injury.
