It always surprises us to hear people say “I have never had a massage”. Massage therapy is so massively beneficial to the body that we consider it normal maintenance – a requirement for health.
Your body goes through a lot in the normal course of daily life. You wouldn’t drive your car around and never bring it in for a tune-up, or if you did, you surely wouldn’t expect it to be driving at top performance, yet that is exactly what many of us do with our physical bodies. We go go go till we just can’t go anymore and have a breakdown (illness or injury).
There is a better way.
The combination of massage and chiropractic is true preventative care.
Massage therapy, though often thought of as a spa treatment and a luxury, is incredibly beneficial for health. It has been shown to:
Reduce Stress
The stress reduction lasts during and for days or weeks after a massage. A tense body becomes a tense mind and vice versa. Relaxation and stress reduction are important to health and wellbeing.
Improve Circulation
Loosening tendons and muscles can increase blood flow. Improving your circulation has a positive effect on the body, including improved energy levels and less pain.
Pain Reduction
Massage therapy is great for working out chronic stiffness, knots, and fascia attachments. A well trained anatomically knowledgable therapist will be able to find the source of your pain and help release it with a variety of massage techniques.
Elimination of Toxins
Massage allows your body to release toxins through your lymphatic drainage system. The long smooth movements cause the fat and muscle tissues to let go of held poisons so make sure to drink lots of water following a massage to flush everything out.
Better Sleep Quality
Going to bed with a relaxed loose body helps to promote more restful sleep so you feel less tired in the morning.
Flexibility Boost
Massage therapy will loosen and relax your muscles, helping your body to achieve its full range of movement potential.
Stronger Immunity
Stimulation your body’s defense system by recharging your lymph nodes.
Increased Energy
Better mood and increased energy are long known benefits of massage.
Eradicate Depression and Anxiety
A good massage releases feel-good endorphins that help you feel at ease, energized and even happy.
