10 reasons to have a massage this year or any time for that matter
1 It feels great- in addition to all the health benefits it provides you do feel like another person afterwards
2 Reduce stress- who doesn’t get stressed. Incorporating a regular massage into your life will provide an opportunity for you, your body and mind to unwind.
3 Relieve pain- targets those tight aching muscles.
4 Improve posture- so many of my clients have work related injuries. Massage can tackle these problem areas (stiff shoulders/low back problems) and advice on stretching and correct work set up could be the solution you have been looking for.
5 Prevent injury and illness- prevention is better than cure. Any muscular tension or misalignment will result in further tension leading to chronic pain or loss of function. Massage can release tension and correct the body preventing any major problems before they occur
6 Increased recovery time from injuries- I have treated many clients recovering from a range of injuries from car crashes, sporting injuries, occupational injuries and post surgery. Without the intervention of massage the recovery time would have been much longer. Massage can reduce the amount of pain and increase range of motion in joints and muscles.
7 Lowers blood pressure- During a massage typically your heart rate will lower thus reducing your blood pressure
8 Aids blood circulation- Stretching, kneading, gliding strokes amongst others will all help with the blood circulation in the body as it manually assists circulation. Relaxed muscles are also more effective at involuntary pumping the blood around your body.
9 Excellent at treating musculoskeletal conditions- Massage is excellent at treating musculoskeletal conditions and I have a proven track record at treating numerous conditions from tension headaches, whiplash, sporting injuries and back problems to name a few.
10 Experienced practitioner- I have been in practice since 2004 and have a wealth of experience at my fingertips. Massage is only as good as the practitioner so make sure they are a good one.
