Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Massage is an effective tool for managing this stress, which translates into:
- Decreased anxiety.
- Enhanced sleep quality.
- Greater energy.
- Improved concentration.
- Increased circulation.
- Reduced fatigue.
Massage can also help specifically address a number of health issues. Bodywork can:
- Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.
- Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays.
- Ease medication dependence.
- Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system.
- Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.
- Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
- Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin.
- Increase joint flexibility.
- Lessen depression and anxiety.
- Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.
- Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.
- Reduce postsurgery adhesions and swelling.
- Reduce spasms and cramping.
- Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
- Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller.
- Relieve migraine pain.
Why is massage important? If you are still asking that after all these bullets, I have some information that will go further into depth, why massage, bodywork, and self-care are vital to our quality of life.
Bodywork is meant to be the deep diving with the "Sleeve" and "Core" holding patterns held in the connective tissues of our 3-Dimensional vessel we live with each day. Massage is available to support and integrate the Bodywork, and may refer you to someone else for this, because balance is essential for our healing and finding ease in both body and mind.
In session I will go over more details with you, in regards to your current state and goals.
I do my best to educate everyone on the information we missed in P.E. from growing up in school, and to provide insight to things about our own bodies we should have been given to think about while growing up.
We are a big pulley-system, muscles never push they only "Pull". And the development of our nervous system may very well be the largest topic we get into, as well as the full circle connection on how one's relationship to 'Gravity' is the essential key to understanding the development of our "issues in the tissues of our system". How we 'rest' is often moreso the reason why we have body aches and pains, movement is usually the thing that is not only good for us and needed more and more in this domesticated culture we live in. Repetitive motion is still a good thing, unless things are tolerated out of alignment, or if there is restriction or irritation to the joints as we move that is barring access to our higher function. I am here to help identify these issues, and to come up with solutions in baby steps to help us get through things you have have been developing for decades.
