Swedish/Relaxation Massage

Picture
Sometimes we just need to relax, physically and mentally.  Our bodies have become so accustomed to an elevated stress level that many people are often functioning with too little sleep, too much cortisol (stress hormone), too many additional substances to help us cope from day to day - think coffee, sugar, alcohol and high carb processed foods.  Our systems are out of balance as we work too hard and truly relax too little - and we experience more tension headaches, migraines, illnesses and mental health issues than ever.  Massage, as well as being good for our muscles, can be equally as beneficial for our mental and emotional well being.  Therapeutic touch has been described in written records since 2700 BCE.  As researchers today gain increasing clarity of the biopsychosocial model, the understandings of ways that massage can affect the body are also growing.  

Massage is constantly undergoing research as evidence based practice is seen as the best way for therapists to gain credibility in the health profession.  Studies have shown that massage therapy has positive benefits for:
  • Management of anxiety and depression
  • Reducing inflammation
  • Pain reduction
  • Improving sleep
  • Boosting the immune system
  • Increasing mental clarity and alertness
  • Reducing tension headaches
  • Relieving fatigue
  • Improving mood

Above all, putting yourself first for an hour can be a truly uplifting experience.  Massage therapists have chosen their career because they genuinely enjoy connecting with and caring for their fellow human beings in supportive ways.  Who couldn't use a bit of extra support at times!?
