Massage for Health Maintenance

If you have an active lifestyle, massage provides relief to muscles that are tired, stiff, and sore, enabling a speedier recovery from strenuous workouts.  Correcting muscle imbalances and postural strains will improve performance and energy level.

Help to prevent injury with massage and bodywork.  If your job, hobby, or sport puts you at risk for a repetitive use injury, treat those aches and pains before they become an injury.  

Receiving bodywork regularly also helps you to stay in tune with your body -- to notice things that you may have tuned-out.

If you have sustained an injury, such as tendonitis, muscle strains, or ligament sprains, massage can aid in your recovery.  Massage eases movement restrictions and reduces pain.  For more information about how massage facilitates the healing of a variety of soft tissue injuries, read my July/August 2005 Newsletter. 

Massage is also a great way to help you manage your stress and stress-related physical and emotional health problems.  Studies have shown that massage decreases stress and anxiety, lowering your risk of developing a stress-related illness.

Relax and revitalize.  Make massage and bodywork part of your health maintenance plan today!
