In the midst of our busy lives with work, family, sports and aging our bodies become weighed down with stress and toxins. The stress and toxins can cause us to develop aches and pains, sore muscles, stiff joints and we can get tired and sick. Massage promotes the body to relax by circulating oxygen in your body to reduce toxins and encourage health and harmony.
The incredible benefits of massage are doubly powerful if taken in regular “doses.” Professionals
at the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami explain the more massage you get, the
greater benefits you reap. Here’s why: Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent
of disease is stress related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high
stress.
Taking part in this form of regularly-scheduled self-care can play a huge part in how healthy
you’ll be and how youthful you’ll remain with each passing year. Budgeting time and money for
bodywork at consistent intervals is truly an investment in your health. And remember: just because
massage feels like a pampering treat doesn’t mean it is any less therapeutic. Consider massage
appointments a necessary piece of your health and wellness plan, and work with your practitioner
to establish a treatment schedule that best meets your needs.
