Massage therapy has been used since ancient times for healing and restoring the body to balance. Massage has been clinically studied and shown to improve medical conditions such as high blood pressure, arthritis pain, chronic pain from injury, and depression.
Studies also show that massage therapy will reduce stress and boost your immune system. Read the study. During times of stress, you should continue to receive regular massages. We believe that this simple act of self-care can be a boost not only in your mood but in your immune system. We recommend monthly treatments for body balancing and overall health.
Some tips for a great massage:
-
Consider a body treatment along with a massage to enhance your results.
-
You should arrive for your massage well hydrated.
-
Be comfortable. We encourage you to disrobe to your level of comfort. It is absolutely ok to wear a bathing suit or remain partially clothed if desired.
-
Shower before your visit and allow therapeutic oils to stay on your skin 8-12 hours after your treatment.
-
Enjoy a snack or light meal one hour or more before your massage. Massage can stimulate digestion and lower blood sugar causing you to feel hungry.
-
Continue your hydration after the massage. Massage can release toxins from muscles and staying well hydrated will assist in the elimination process.
Clients with chronic pain or diagnosed orthopedic conditions may want to schedule massage therapy appointments twice per month or weekly. Do not schedule one when you are sick or are feeling unwell.
