Why Get a Massage?
It’s good for you.
Massage can help relieve tension in muscles and work out tender spots from hours of overuse. When these areas are relieved, it allows your body to return to balance. Many jobs require hours of sitting and repetitive motions of using a computer. The daily ritual of sitting causes tension in your arms, back and neck, which can build up causing an increasing issue that build up over time. Massage therapy, on a regular basis, can help to counteract this problem.
The touch you receive during massage causes your body to release chemicals that lower your blood pressure, reduce stress, decrease pulse rate, reduce anxiety as well as fatigue. Because of all of this, massage is shown to alleviate chronic pain such as is common in the lower back.
Athletes often seek massage as a recovery tool from working out. Heavy muscle breakdown can only be repaired by blood flow. Massages increase blood flow to all areas of the body by means of repeated compression. Repairing the muscle sooner allows athletes to return to top performance sooner.
