Benefits of Regular Massage
I am often asked by new clients “How often should I schedule my massage sessions”? There is no exact answer, but studies indicate that massage at regular intervals is most beneficial to your overall health. I generally recommend every two weeks if your budget permits, and if you can afford weekly, that is best.
Just living a normal life these days can be stressful; paying bills, stress at work, relationships, etc. All of these things can cause stress, and when we get stressed out we usually hold that stress in our bodies. Have you ever experienced a headache after an argument or a particularly stressful situation? The muscles in our neck and shoulder contract and tighten, lessening the blood supply. Eventually you will experience pain and inflammation, because the muscles are so tight that the metabolic wastes are unable to be adequately flushed away. A regime of regular massage will help keep these toxins from building up in your tissues, but it will also train those muscles to better react to stress, so that you don’t end up so tight in the first place.
Remember, your body strives to maintain optimum health by keeping all of its systems in balance. Along with proper nutrition, exercise and rest, massage relaxes tense muscles and stimulates the body’s communication lines to help it do its job Finance Learning and to keep you feeling your best. So, make regular massage a priority in your life for a healthier tomorrow!
