You may think that due to your busy schedule, seeking massage therapy services is too time consuming. Nonetheless, in spite of the rainy weather we encourage you to book an appointment with your massage therapist. You'll be glad you did—massage therapy can alleviate your aches and pains while allowing for relaxation and stress relief.
5 reasons why you should book a massage
1. Relieves Muscle Soreness
Massage therapy can reduce muscle stiffness and/or soreness resulting from long hours of work, intense physical activity or sleeping in a non-optimal position, etc. When muscles build up stress and tension it can reduce the blood flow to the soft tissues and restrict movement. Pain relief may result from improved circulation helping the muscles heal and restore movement brought about by a massage session.
2. Improves Sleeping Habits
Lack of sleep can leave you feeling tired, drained, and unfocused. It can also cause poor cognitive function and a weakened immune system. Massage has been demonstrated to increase the production of serotonin and melatonin, both important in facilitating deep sleep. !
3. Reduces Injury Risk
Massage can improve the flow of blood in the body, increasing oxygen levels and keeping muscles energized, strong and healthy. This helps to prevent injury due to improved tissue elasticity. The additional oxygen also enhances performance during physical activities.
4. Decreases Anxiety and Improves Well-being
It has been shown that regular massages can have a positive effect on overall well-being, by helping to decrease anxiety. Massages work by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, which in turn can help to slow the heart rate and decrease blood pressure. These effects can be beneficial for those who are looking to improve their overall health and wellbeing.
5. Rehabilitate your injury
Massage Therapy is an excellent tool for treating orthopedic issues. Massage can help improve range of motion and decrease pain in the affected area, whether it be a knee injury, lower back pain, wrist discomfort or jaw tightness. Registered Massage Therapists are trained to address these conditions and their symptoms giving you the relief you need and restoring your quality of life.
