Massage and Pain

Pain plays a part in nearly all of our lives at some point.  Ultimately, pain is one of the ways our body can speak to us. “Hello, can you hear me? Something is wrong and I need your attention?” Sometimes the attention can be as simple as resting an overworked muscle but oftentimes the messages have been ignored or worked around for so long that other means of treatment are necessary.

I see many clients suffering with pain and symptoms that keep them from doing their favorite activities. Regardless of it being chronic pain that set in years ago or acute pain from a weekend event, discomfort can cause a downward spiral leading to sleeplessness, anxiety, depression and many other related symptoms.

While the body is known for its healing power, sometimes a little assistance can go a long way in breaking that pain cycle. Don't give into the pain, instead, find what works for you and make a commitment to care for yourself each and everyday!

“Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever.” - Lance Armstrong

Massage and Stress Relief

Stress is a fact of life and comes to each of us in various forms. While some levels of stress are normal by today’s standards, we can all experience stress overload. It important to tune in and recognize that things like headaches, insomnia, anxiety, moodiness, agitation, frequent illness and depression are symptomatic of your bodies stress response.

Continued research shows that therapeutic massage can help teach you to relax and better cope with stress and its affects. Regular massage not only offers a stress break but can decrease your muscle tension and induce a calm state of mind allowing you to stay more relaxed even when stressors arise. Budgeting time and money for massage on a monthly basis is a great way to combat stress and invest in your daily health.
