Health Benefits of Massages

1. Ease Pain

Achy, sore muscles? Similar to massaging a bruise, by circulating the blood, a body massage can magically soothe tired and distressed limbs. Massages are also beneficial for headaches. Many people who suffer from migraines find that after regular massages, the frequency of their headaches have gone down significantly. 

2. Improve Sleeping Patterns

Massages can also help promote a better nights sleep by relaxing the brain and putting you into a calm state of mind. If you suffer from insomnia, try weekly massages. 

3. Relax the Body, Mind, and Spirit

One of the most obvious benefits of a massage is the tranquility that it brings over us. It is important to allow your brain to forget your weekly to-do list and enjoy a moment of peace. If you have find that you have anxiety from day to day, massages may be a good option for you!

4. Improve Range of Motion

Many athletes know that keeping flexibility throughout your body is a key factor in quality of performance in any sport. Massage therapy will improve your range of motion by releasing tension from areas that you may neglect in your stretching routine and help recover from any injury that you may be experiencing. This will make more a difference than you may think!

5. Prevent High Blood Pressure

Massages have been proven to reduce hypertension by stimulating certain nerves. 

Quick Tips!

1. Skip Shaving/Waxing/ or Sugaring

Embarrassed by stubble? Don't be. Masseuses are used to it. The fragranced massage oils and lotions can irritate your pores and even result in a rash.

2. I would suggest fitting a one hour massage into your schedule at least once or twice a month! Massages have many more health benefits than you would think! You don't have to dish out a ton of money to get an effective massage so pencil it in during a lunch break or after yoga!

I hope that you guys learned something new from this blog post. Massages are a great activity to share with your friends, family, or significant others. They are also great to package as Christmas and birthday presents! With school back in session, I hope that you all find the time to relax soon! Stay tuned for an upcoming video from me!
