Too much stress can have a negative effect on our lives. Stress can accumulate over time and lead to chronic muscle tension, anxiety and depression. In fact, many health conditions in our modern world are either directly related to or aggravated by stress.
Massage therapy offers a drug-free, non-invasive approach to the over stressed mind and body. Massage helps restore balance and bring the body back to normal by triggering the relaxation response, bringing the body back to normal function. The heart rate slows, breathing becomes deeper, the muscle relax and circulation and digestion improve.
Massage also provides relief from chronic muscular tension, back and neck pain, headaches and trigger points caused by stress. Recent research has also confirmed that massage for relaxation reduces anxiety and increases feelings of well-being. In addition, because massage creates a sensory pleasurable experience, it can contribute to healthy immune function and general well being.
Massage can benefit anyone! It provides relief to all ages and all walks of life. From infants to seniors, the amateur to the competitive athlete, the homemaker to the top business executive...we all have stress! What better way to relieve stress than to take time to breathe and allow your body to relax. Give massage a try. Your body (and mind) will thank you for it
