Massages… More Than A Luxury

There’s no denying the power of bodywork. Regardless of the adjectives we assign to it (pampering, rejuvenating, therapeutic) or the reasons we seek it out (a luxurious treat, stress relief, pain management), massage therapy can be a powerful ally in your healthcare regimen.  Experts estimate that more than ninety percent of disease is stress related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast-paced world may be idealistic, a massage can without a doubt, help manage stress. Which translates into decreased anxiety, reduced fatigue, greater energy, enhanced sleep quality, improved concentration, greater energy, and increased circulation. Not to mention the sense of clarity and perspective you feel after a massage.  So, to sum it up, getting massages regularly will better your mind, body and spirit. Tell your husband it would make a great Mother’s day gift as well.
