How Monthly Massages Can Benefit You

People want to know….”what’s in it for me?”  A valid question.  Certainly reasonable.  Why should you come in every month (or week) and give me your hard earned money other than the facts that it’s my livelihood, I’m an awesome therapist and a great conversationalist??  Lets exam that….

Anxiety and Depression
Regular massage can decrease the cortisol (stress hormone) levels.  It also can increase the seratonin and dopamine levels.  When our bodies are low in seratonin and dopamine we are more apt to feel down, tired and depressed.

Fibromyalgia
Massage increases the production of your body’s natural pain killers.  It relaxes the tissue, increases the flow of nutrients and remove waste from the muscle tissue, all helping decrease the pain associated with fibromyalgia.

Athletes and Body Builders
Athletes already know the benefits of massage.  There isn’t one professional team out there that doesn’t have a sports massage therapist working on them.  They recognize that it speeds in recovery, flushes out lactic acid, increases range of motion and keeps the muscles loose and pliable so much less susceptible to injury.  This is a must for the longevity of their careers.  Body builders also push their bodies to the max and are open to the same injuries that any other athlete is.  They know that regular massage not just keeps them on track with their goals but also allows their bodies to heal faster which means lift more quicker.  I’ve never met a body builder that wasn’t thrilled about that!

Boosts Immune System
Massage increases our white blood cells, the bodies natural defense system.

Pain
Studies have shown that 8 out of 10 people have chronic back or neck pain.  Massage helps relieve the tension, release the fascial constrictions and increase blood flow to the areas of concern allowing the body to heal.  With most of our jobs requiring some form of repetitive motion whether it is driving, using a computer, playing a sport or being on our feet all day inflammation tends to build up.  Trust me folks, there’s not much good that comes from constant inflammation.

Tension Headaches
With all that repetitive motion from our jobs causing tension many people suffer from regular headaches.  Manipulation of the muscles causes them to relax and allow fresh blood in to flush the area out.

Lower Blood Pressure
Because massage decreases stress hormone levels and aids the body in returning to homeostasis, regular massage combined with a proper diet and exercise routine can help you get completely off any blood pressure medication with it’s unwanted side effects.

It Just Feels Soooo Good!
Am I wrong?  More and more people are joining the movement.  What is this “movement” I speak of?  Vegan, vegetarian, organic, exercise, health, wellness….the healthy living movement!  People have seen the effects of the prescription drugs, they are trusting their doctors and pharmacists less and turning back to nature, looking for prevention not cures.  Yes a muscle relaxer may help, it certainly will never feel as good as a massage 😉

We offer a monthly membership so that you can take advantage of all these health benefits on a regular basis.  We recommend that when you start you membership that you make your next appointment before you leave.  This will ensure that you have blocked that time for yourself.  If you don’t think you’re important enough to take the time for yourself how can anyone else?  If you don’t respect the body that has been drug through the mud probably more than once since you took your first step, then how can you ever expect anyone else to?  To take advantage of our membership you simply sign up and put a credit card on file.  The card will be charged $55 on the 1st of each month giving you a $20 savings!  The $55 will go towards any treatment you desire (prices below).  The 50 minute massage is $55 so if you came in once a month it would be covered from your monthly dues.  If you come every week, the first treatment is covered and each treatment you receive after will be eligible for the same member rate.  Your dues will roll over if you cannot come in as long as your membership is in good standing.  Treatment costs that exceed the the monthly dues price can just be paid at your visit.  Click here for more information!
