Why You Can’t Afford to Not Get a Massage
Though they may seem like just a part of a daily routine, caring for kids, commuting to work, running errands and even getting a good workout in keeps our lives pretty busy – and our bodies in constant motion.
Life definitely does not stand still. So to stay healthy and on-the-ready to take on life, many of us try to eat healthier, catch a few extra zzz’s, take our vitamins and exercise more. Today, as more consumers listen to their bodies, they are making regular massage a part of their overall wellness routine and therefore incorporating total body care into their lives.
• It makes you happy. When life moments stress you, your body reacts by releasing adrenaline and cortisol, hormones that fuel our “fight or flee” responses. Adrenaline and cortisol increase your heart rate and your blood sugar and over time, as everyday stressors occur, the constant release and buildup of these hormones can cause negative physical reactions ranging from headaches to problems sleeping. Luckily massage therapy can help alleviate these symptoms that have built up over time.
• Relieves aches and pains. If you sit at a desk all day, chances are, you have certainly found your neck or shoulders a bit stiff when it’s time to head home. Many of these aches and pains can come from the poor posture all of us have been guilty of that at one point or another throughout the day or from repetitive movements like twisting around to answer a phone. And over time, this habit can cause your body extra stress, leading to spinal misalignment, joint damage and fatigued muscle groups that can weaken over time.
• Improves muscle recovery. Whether you’re a workout warrior or making your way back to “get fit” mode, many of us tend to treat our bodies like machines when we’re working out. And it’s not a bad thing to want to get in shape; regular exercise can reduce the risk of developing ailments like high blood pressure, diabetes and heart diseases. But over time, getting back into the fitness swing of things can cause slower recovery for the muscle groups you use the most and injure other areas that you haven’t worked out in some time. But did you know that regular massages can rejuvenate those same muscles?
• Benefits at any age. The elderly population (those 65 years or older) numbered 44.7 million in 2013. Many of today’s seniors are enjoying longer lives thanks to incorporating healthier living into their lifestyles through diet, exercise, stretching and even massage therapy.
