MASSAGES
What Are the Therapeutic Benefits of Massage?
Massage works by manipulating soft tissues of the body to relieve pain, reduce stress, calm the mind, and improve overall health. All types of massage improve blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, while also helping to regulate the nervous system. Massage strengthens our Vagus Nerve tone, which helps the body switch from a stressed state to a calm one more quickly, promoting overall well-being.
How Often Should I Get a Massage?
Monthly massages are one of the best things we can do to maintain our health. When you are just starting out (or starting again) with massage, the goal is often to get back to a better, healthier baseline quickly and then make massage a habit to prevent you from going backward. For this reason, our massage therapist may recommend more frequent massages in the beginning, then move to a monthly massage for maintenance.
What Does Massage Help with?
Massage helps with pain, fatigue, mental clarity, posture, fluid buildup, anxiety, stress, depression, emotional overload/exhaustion, and can even help you confront problems better. We can all benefit from healing human touch physically, mentally, and emotionally. The cells of our bodies start communicating better with each other in response to safe, therapeutic touch, opening the door for deep and lasting healing.
